- Total Time: 30 mins
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted and cooled
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup grated zucchini, water squeezed out (about 1 medium zucchini)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used Lily’s chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, milk, coconut oil, vanilla extract and grated zucchini until all combined. Add wet ingredients into flour mixture and mix with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and divide batter evenly between 12 muffin cups sprayed with non-stick cooking spray (or you can use liners) making sure to fill each cup almost all the way full.
- Bake the muffins for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, then let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
