Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon optional
  • ½ cup applesauce
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 2 Tablespoons milk of your choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 10 drops liquid stevia (see Notes)
  • 1 small zucchini (finely grated, about one cup)
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together (flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon).
  • In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients (applesauce, egg, oil, sweetener, milk, vanilla, vinegar, stevia, and zucchini).
  • Make a well in the center of the dry mix, and pour in the wet ingredients.
  • Gently mix together the batter, trying not to mix it more than 15 times.
  • Using an ice cream scoop or small measuring cup, dollop the batter equally among 12 paper muffin cups.
  • Top each with a few chocolate chips, if desired.
  • Bake the muffins for 14-15 minutes (tops should be springy to the touch).
  • Cool 5-10 minutes and enjoy!
