Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1.5 cups oat flour
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips plus some for topping
Wet ingredients
- ½ cup grated zucchini
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 cup chickpeas drained
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup olive oil or avocado oil
- ½ cup plain greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a muffin tin or line with muffin liners.
- In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients (flour through salt; omit the chocolate chips for now).
- In a high speed blender or food processor, combine the wet ingredients (grated zucchini, spinach, chickpeas, maple syrup, eggs, oil and greek yogurt). Blend until it forms a uniform consistency and the spinach leaves are completely blended.
- Combine the wet mixture from the food processor into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix, adding in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop the batter evenly into a muffin tin and top with chocolate chips and a pinch of sea salt, if desired.
- Bake for 20-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean (Mine were perfect at 20 minutes).
- Notes: Depending how much moisture you have from your zucchini, your muffins may be on the longer side for baking. Oat flour is very light and airy, so try not to overbake these!
