Zucchini Muffins

 These muffins are so light and fluffy!  Thanks for the recipe, Reenie!


  • 1 cup flour (I use 1/2C Bob's Red Mill GF and 1/2C Namaste GF flour)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup Cocoa powder (Dark cocoa also works)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon 
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk (any milk ok)
  • 2 tsp vinegar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg, whisked
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup grated zucchini
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

  1. Preheat oven to 350.  Line muffin pan with parchment liners (or foil, in a pinch)
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.  
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, vinegar, vegetable oil, whisked egg, and vanilla until combined.  
  4. Pour wet mixture over dry cocoa mixture and stir by hand until all the flour is incorporated.  Stir in the zucchini, followed by boiling water. 
  5. Fill muffin liners 3/4 of the way full, sprinkle with chocolate chips. 
  6. Bake at 350 for 13-17 minutes, until tops spring back and a tester inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.  
**If buying lots of zucchini at once, you can grate it, measure it out, and put it in snack sized bags and store it in the freezer.  Thaw when ready to make more muffins!
