Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins









These Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins look and taste chocolaty, kind of indulging muffin. Don’t you agree? And, they taste better than ones from a bakery. In this chocolate chip zucchini muffin, there is so much chocolate and chocolate flavour. I should have called this recipe a double chocolate muffin 🙂
But wait, they have some healthiness to them. First, the muffin is made with two cups of freshly grated zucchini, coconut oil and pure cocoa. And, the muffins are dairy-free, gluten-free, and are made with coconut sugar. Coconut sugar is slightly healthier than refined sugar.
I think we can agree that these chocolate zucchini muffins are healthy-ish. And the best part, no one will ever know that they are packed with zucchini. So, this gluten-free chocolate chip zucchini muffin is one that you don’t have to feel guilty about.
Is zucchini healthy?
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.
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.
But there is more! Healthy zucchini, my favourite squash in baking. The zucchini adds nutritional value, cuts back on fats and keeps the chocolate chip muffins extra moist.
