Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

9/24/2014

0 Comments

 
   I've got another recipe today featuring zucchini from my neighbours garden! :)  
   Chocolate zucchini muffins are nothing new, so if you're thinking, "eeewwwwww", you suck, and you've never tried it. You're just guessing it's gross because we treat zucchini as a vegetable, but in reality (botanically) it's  fruit. I know. Bonkers. So, what I'm saying is, if you're in doubt, think of this more as a chocolate and (insert another fruits' name here) muffin. 
   O.k? Let's get to it then!

Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 Cups almond meal
  • 3/4 Cup tapioca flour/starch
  • 3/4 Cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 Cup cocoa
  • 1 Tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Baking soda
  • 5 Eggs
  • ⅓ Cup honey or maple syrup
  • ⅓ Cup milk (any kind'll do)
  • 1/4 Cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 Cups shredded zucchini
  • 2 Ounces chopped unsweetened chocolate

Method: 

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 Degrees, and line a muffin tray with liners, or spray with cooking spray
  2. Stir together all the dry ingredients in a bowl, and make a well in the centre 
  3. Stir together the wet ingredients (including the shredded zucchini, but not the chopped chocolate...which isn't wet anyway...) in a separate bowl, then pour the mixture into the well of the dry ingredients
  4. Use a wooden spoon to stir together the wet and dry ingredients just until they are combined
  5. Add the chopped chocolate, and gently stir to combine
  6. Scoop the muffin batter into the prepared cups, filling about ⅔ of the way up.
  7. Bake for 17-22 minutes. Test for doneness at the 17 minute mark (by inserting a toothpick or knife in the centre of a muffin to see that it comes out clean), if it's not quite finished, bake longer, adding a minute or two more at a time. 
  8. Once finished, remove from oven and allow to cool on a rack for a few minutes before pulling out of the pan and cooling on a rack.
  9. Store un-eaten muffins in an airtight container in the fridge, or freeze.

   I think I'm not getting enough (or good enough) sleep lately. I usually can sit down at the computer and write away, but a few times over the last few weeks I just sit here....staring.........then, I suddenly I snap out of it, and think, "was I thinking of something important? I can't remember, I'll sit here and think for a minute......"(staring).....I think you get the idea. 
   So, on that note.........
