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.
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!

Super delicious !! I doubled up on the cinnamon. Any suggestions on how to store these muffins?
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!
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!
Was this recipe supposed to have cinnamon??? If so — I didn’t see it in the instructions, although I could be missing it ??
Looks amazing! Is there a way to replace the eggs to make it vegan?
Do you happen to know how many carbs are in each muffin?
