Zucchini Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Raspberry Muffins!
Yes, that’s a mouthful. ? I couldn’t come up with a shorter name… Anyone have any ideas? ?
I kind of stole this idea from my oldest daughter. She developed and came up with a zucchini chocolate- chocolate chip raspberry bread. Of course that recipe had wheat and honey and etc. Very yummy, but not something I can or should eat!
This same older daughter has been sampling my muffins from her idea. She always tells me, just for the fun of it that everything is yucky… But she won’t quit eating them! ? So, today when she got home from work I asked her if she wanted to sample one. She wanted two… with yogurt. My little ones think they also have to have two a piece! ?
These are dairy free if you use Lily’s dark chocolate vegan chips! They are also gluten free. And nut free!
Makes 1 dozen.
If following THM, these would fall into the S category.
So, here is the recipe!
Zucchini Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Raspberry Muffins
Wet Ingredients:
1-4 oz. 100% cacao baking bar
1 cup packed, finely grated zucchini
6 Tablespoons Pyure
6 Tablespoons xylitol
2 Tablespoons vanilla extract
4 eggs
Dry Ingredients:
4 Tablespoons coconut flour
4 Tablespoons oat fiber
2 Tablespoons golden flax meal
2 Tablespoons collagen
1 Tablespoon psyllium husk
1 Tablespoon glucomannan
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
Other Ingredients:
1 cup frozen raspberries
1/2 cup Lily’s dark chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt baking chocolate in a double boiler. I actually just sit my metal mixer bowl over a pan of boiling water until the chocolate melts. Saves one more dish, and I don’t waste any chocolate!
When the chocolate is melted, add the zucchini with the melted chocolate in the mixer bowl. Start mixing and add the sweeteners 1 Tablespoon at a time, beating as you add them. Then add the vanilla. By this time it should be cool enough to add the eggs. (You don’t want to cook your eggs!)
Mix all the dry ingredients together in a separate small bowl. Then stir the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture by hand. Add the raspberries and chocolate chips and mix again.
Fill 12 paper lined muffin cups with the batter. They will be pretty full. Place in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until done.
Yum!
And if you would like to purchase from me, I sell the oat fiber, glucomannan, collagen and psyllium husk! My store link is https://lotsalittlelambs.com/shop/

I don’t really like raspberries, could I use something else? Any rexommendations?
lotsalittlelambs
I think you could replace them with another berry. I’m thinking maybe frozen blackberries, or cut up strawberries would be the closest to the recipe. I think you would be ok just leaving them out, too.

Could I swap out baking blend for all the flours? Maybe a cup plus a tablespoon or two
lotsalittlelambs
I think you could swap out Baking Blend for the flours EXCEPT for the psyllium and glucomannan. I am not sure of the amount. I would try a little less than the amount of flours and add a bit if you need to. The batter is pourable/spoonable, not runny or thick.
Amanda
The baking blend I use had gluci and psyllium in it so I just used 1 c. Total baking mix. They seem a bit dry still but okay. Thanks!
lotsalittlelambs
I’m glad they came out ok. They shouldn’t be dry, but should rise and then hold their shape while baking. ?
Nicole
Is this the same psyllium you use in wonder wraps? The whole flakes? Thanks!
lotsalittlelambs
Yes, it is! I also carry this in my store. 🙂

What THM sweetner can I use in place of xylitol?
lotsalittlelambs
I would use all erythritol if you can’t have xylitol. If you can have xylitol but want to use a mix from THM, try Gentle Sweet to replace both sweeteners. Super Sweet could also be used. Maybe try 1/2 the amount.
lotsalittlelambs
You could try gentle sweet in place of both the erythritol and xylitol.
