Description

Honey, banana, and grated zucchini add a healthy spin to these double chocolate muffins.

Ingredients

  • 1-¼ cup Flour
  • ¼ cups Unsweetened Cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • ¼ cups Low-fat Buttermilk
  • 1  Large Egg, Lightly Beaten
  • ⅓ cups Honey
  • 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1  Large Ripe Banana, Mashed
  • 1 cup Grated Zucchini
  • ⅓ cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 12-cup standard muffin pan with baking cups; coat baking cups with cooking spray. Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Combine buttermilk, egg, honey, oil, vanilla, banana, and zucchini in a medium bowl; add to flour mixture and stir just until combined.

Fill each baking cup 2/3 full of batter, then sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over muffins. Bake for 15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let muffins cool in pan on a wire rack for 2 minutes before removing from pan to serve warm or cool completely. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days.

Hi Bron, thanks for your comment. If you didn’t know there was zucchini in these muffins, you’d never know – the cocoa hides the flavor completely. The zucchini just gives the muffins an incredible texture and keeps them nice & moist!

Wow, I’ve never tried anything sweet that has zucchini in it – what sort of effect does it have on the flavour? They sound and look delicious!
