DAIRY- AND GLUTEN-FREE ZUCCHINI ORANGE CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS



Dairy- and Gluten-Free Zucchini Orange Chocolate Chip Muffins image

My favorite muffin recipe is a chocolate chip orange zucchini bread recipe found on Allrecipes! But when I had to cut out dairy and gluten, I had to get creative to get the same satisfaction out of a healthier version. These turned out great! Be sure to add the glaze - it really makes the muffin.

ZUCCHINI-CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS



Zucchini-Chocolate Chip Muffins image

Easy to make, moist and delicious. Everyone loves these muffins. We omit the nuts and use regular sized chocolate chips, because that's what we usually have on hand. I like to pulverize the zucchini in the food processor, which makes it barely detectable in the muffins, that way even my kids will eat these!

Yield 24 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 large eggs
½ cup grapeseed oil
½ cup coconut oil
½ cup honey
1 cup sugar
2 cups grated zucchini (about 3 small)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Optional: 4 Tablespoons cocoa powder
1 cup dark mini chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and fill 2 muffin pans (for 24 muffins) with cupcake liners or very generously grease (I use a cast iron muffin pan that is practically non-stick with oil. If you have a regular ol' muffin tin, I recommend using the little paper liners.) In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in grapeseed oil, coconut oil, honey, and sugar. With spatula or wooden spoon, stir in grated zucchini and vanilla extract. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder (if using). Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until almost combined. Add chocolate chips and finish combining, just until mixed. The mixture may still be a bit clumpy - that's okay. Portion batter into muffin cups and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Alternately, bake the batter in two parchment-lined 8 x 4-in loaf pans, for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10-15 minutes, and serve. Store extra muffins in a sealed plastic bag. They take well to freezing, but they're best fresh of course
