Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup zucchini, shredded
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, coconut oil, egg and vanilla.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir just until combined.
5. Fold in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips.
6. Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

The shredded zucchini gives moisture but blends into the chocolate flavor. For extra nutrition, you could also fold in shredded carrots. Let the muffins cool before serving
