A new week calls for a new muffin recipe, am I right?!? What started out as a basic paleo chocolate chip muffin recipe became a super bad ass & low sugar PALEO CHOCOLATE CHIP ZUCCHINI MUFFIN recipe, and before you go ewwwwwww, what’s zucchini doing in a muffin?! The answer is, it’s actually AMAZING. It adds a boatload of moisture (yep I said the M word), and it’s a brilliant way to sneak in those veg! I even sold Gavyn on them and y’all know he’s the world toughest critic! So let’s dooooooo this.
Servings: muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ½ cup almond butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 heaping cup dairy free chocolate chips
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 2 zucchini, grated (1 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Line a muffin tin with liners and set aside.
- Grate your zucchini and use a paper towel to press down and remove as much of the moisture as you can.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil, coconut sugar and almond butter.
- In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- Pour dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix well. The dough will be thick!
- Next add the zucchini and the chocolate chips.
- Fill each muffin cup and sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top.
- Bake 23-25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, let cool, remove from the tray and enjoy!

Do you happen to know how many carbs are in each muffin?
Looks amazing! Is there a way to replace the eggs to make it vegan?
Was this recipe supposed to have cinnamon??? If so — I didn’t see it in the instructions, although I could be missing it ??
Made these and they were super good. Used some chocolate pecan nut butter from ground up that threw it over the top..Ordered that when I tried your blueberry waffle cone nut butter!
Yum!! I love that nut butter, Nancy! Thank you so much for making this recipe, and for leaving such a kind review!
These were so yummy!! I used to eat muffins all the time – one of my favorite breakfast options. I’ve had to stop eating wheat for health reasons, so these were the perfect alternative. The zucchini makes them moist & I love anything with chocolate.
Muffins are one of my favorite breakfasts too, Suzanne! I am so happy that you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for your review!
Super delicious !! I doubled up on the cinnamon. Any suggestions on how to store these muffins?
