chocolate chip zucchini muffins

Clean Eating Healthy Muffins

I modified this recipe quite a bit from one I found online. I searched LOTS of "healthy" zucchini muffin and bread recipes but found they all still used processed sugar and flour. I'm trying to cut back on carbs and I usually use raw honey as my sweetener so I created my own recipe. These are delicious and moist!! (sorry for those of you that don't like that word) Most of the recipes used 1 1/2cups of flour. I modified this by subsituting it with a combination of Almond meal, oat flour, whole wheat flour, and ground flax seed.
Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups Mixed flour (1 part Oat Flour, 1 part Whole Wheat Flour, 1 part mostly Almond Meal with ground flax seed mixed in (about 2 1/2 Tbsp)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp salt
• Dash of cinnamon
• 1/3 cup raw honey
• 2 drops pure stevia extract
• about 1/2 cup  60% chocolate chips (I actually placed about 3 chips in each muffin)
• 1/2 cup applesauce (unsweetened)
• 1/3 cup coconut oil + 2 Tbsp almond oil
• 1 tsp  apple cider vinegar 
• 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup grated zucchini ( I used the grater on my food processor & then the "S" blade)

Total Time: 20m
Makes 10-12

Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Combined wet ingredients in a separate bowl then mix into the dry mixture. Add chocolate chips and nuts if you want and then spoon into muffin tins lined with paper baking cups. Bake for 16-19 mins.

I made these for breakfast this morning and enjoyed them with a hot cup of Chocolate Truffle tea.
