Gluten Free Chocolate Zucchini Muffins are moist, chocolaty, and secretly packed with veggies. These healthy muffins are made with gluten-free flour and naturally sweetened, making them perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini (squeezed dry)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (dairy-free or regular, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, applesauce, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Fold in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips, if using. Do not overmix.
  6. Spoon the batter into muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze excess liquid from zucchini to avoid soggy muffins.Use dairy-free chocolate chips for a completely dairy-free version.Don’t overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.Store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.You can substitute applesauce with mashed banana for a different flavor.
