Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

My friend Jean brought these to me over the weekend. They are really good.
Ingredients:


  • 1 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa

  • 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1 whole banana mashed

  • 1/2 cup raw sugar-I would use 1/2 teaspoon Stevia

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

  • 1/4 cup non-dairy milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract-no imitation please

  • 1 cup shredded zucchini

  • 1/2-3/4 cup walnuts-chopped


  1. Directions:
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Spray muffin tins-I like using the smaller tins

  3. Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda,salt and cinnamon.

  4. In another bowl cream together mashed banana and applesauce and sugar of choice.

  5. Add soymilk, vanilla, zucchini and nuts.

  6. Stir until evenly combined. Add flour mix to wet mix in 3-4 bathes and stir until just combined.

  7. Spoon into sprayed muffin tins, bake 18-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
These muffins store well in the refrigerator. They also freeze well.

Enjoy!!!
