Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds* (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini, squeezed of excess liquid (about 1 small zucchini)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips* (sugar free)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 and line a muffin pan with 10 baking cups (I use paper or silicon for this recipe). If using paper cups, spray the liners with coconut oil baking spray.
  2. In a high powered blender, combine all of the ingredients except the zucchini and chocolate chips. Combine until smooth then add in the zucchini (squeezed of an excess liquid before adding). Stir in the chocolate chips.
  3. Spoon out the batter into the prepared baking cups about 3/4 full. This fills 10 cups or 12 for smaller muffins.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes at 375. Cool in pan and store in an sir tight container in the fridge.

Notes

The recipe works with or without the chia seeds (a little more dense without them and fluffy with them since they soak up the liquid). For paleo chocolate chips try the brand - Enjoy Life.
