Healthy Chocolate Zucchini Mini Muffins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Healthy Chocolate Zucchini Mini Muffins.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give two mini muffin tins a light spray with cooking spray to ensure your treats pop out easily later.

2. Step 2

   In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsweetened chocolate in 15-second bursts, stirring after each interval until it’s smooth and glossy—this should take about a minute.

3. Step 3

   Once your chocolate is melted, stir in the grated zucchini, unsweetened applesauce, egg substitute, and a splash of vanilla extract.

4. Step 4

   Mix everything together until it’s well combined and you can’t see any streaks.

5. Step 5

   In another large bowl, whisk together the white sugar, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

6. Step 6

   Now, gently pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir just until everything is combined—remember, a little lumpiness is okay, so don’t overmix! Fold in those delightful semisweet chocolate chips for an extra touch of sweetness.

7. Step 7

   Using a scoop, fill each cup of your prepared mini muffin tins about two-thirds full with the batter.

8. Step 8

   Pop them into your preheated oven and bake for around 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

9. Step 9

   Once they’re done, let them cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tins.
