These gluten-free and dairy-free chocolate chip zucchini muffins are both delicious and rich in chocolate flavor. This wholesome muffin recipe has a moist crumb and tastes even better than bakery versions!
Gluten-Free Chocolate Zucchini Muffins For Chocolate Lovers
In these chocolate chip zucchini muffins, the chocolate flavor is intense because of the cocoa powder and chocolate chips. I could have easily named this recipe “double chocolate muffins”! It’s truly an outstanding zucchini muffin recipe!
A Healthier Treat
But there’s more! Zucchini is my favorite squash for baking, thanks to its mild flavor. It adds nutritional value, reduces fat, adds fiber, and keeps these chocolate chip gluten-free muffins extra moist. They are made with two cups of freshly grated zucchini, coconut oil, and pure cocoa. They’re dairy-free, gluten-free, and sweetened with coconut sugar.
Guilt-Free Indulgence
We can all agree that these chocolate zucchini muffins are healthy-ish. The best part? No one will ever suspect they’re packed with zucchini! This gluten-free chocolate chip zucchini muffin is a delicious treat you can enjoy without feeling too guilty. Each muffin has approximately only 180 calories.
Is Zucchini Nutritious?
Zucchini is a mild-tasting squash, and when used in baking, it makes everything moist and often can replace some of the fats in a recipe. In addition, the squash is high in dietary fiber, low in calories and has zero fats.
Also, zucchini isn’t shy of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. All this goodness makes it a good reason to add it to recipes such as this chocolate chip zucchini muffin.
So, the zucchini is a must. Not only does it add great nutritional value, but it also keeps these muffins extra moist. Honestly, I can’t think of a better way to cut back on unwanted fats than using zucchini.

pure cocoa for that chocolate flavour
The muffin batter is made with pure cocoa powder, which adds that fresh chocolate flavour. Did you know pure cocoa powder is packed with powerful antioxidants? Also, I have added plenty of chocolate chips.
