That's a mouthful, isn't it? It may sound like a lot, but they're so simple and the flavor is delicious! I had to look through a few different recipes to make one I thought sounded good, and I did awesome. Yes, I'm patting myself firmly on the back!They're so good, in fact, my lovely daughter sneaked into the kitchen while they were cooling and nibbled the chocolate chips off about half of them! When I asked her what happened, she grinned ear to ear and said "are you mad, mom?" Hahah, no! Silly stinker, who could be mad at such a cute, chocolate covered grin? Then, she ate 2 whole muffins herself! I'd like to say these get 2 thumbs WAY up!
Recipe
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
1 cup white sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup shredded coconut
2 cup shredded zucchini
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350, line cupcake tin with paper liners (Will make 24, though I made 1 loaf and 12 muffins)
Sift together flours, cinnamon, nutmeg, b. soda, b. powder, and salt in medium bowl and set aside. In large bowl, or bowl of stand mixer, beat the oil and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in eggs one at at time, followed by vanilla. Slowly add in your zucchini, coconut, and chocolate chips. Mix well and then slowly combine sifted ingredients in 3 parts.
Pour into prepared liners and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until your toothpick comes out slightly crumby and moist :)
Enjoy!
***Healthy tip***
Cut the oil and the sugar in half, and add in 1 cup of natural and unsweetened applesauce. That will reduce the calories and sugar by a LOT.
