It has been an exciting start to the month! Does anyone else feel a bit more reenergized in September? Although it has been 5+ years since I have been in school, I still get the motivation to create goals, start new projects and maybe tack on a new hobby or activity when I can. But amongst all of that, I’m focusing on building the blog and creating recipes like these Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins!
What does that mean you ask? Well a number of things. First and foremost, creating new and approachable recipes like these Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins, which is a perfect healthy snack on busy days. We’ll get to this recipe in just a minute.
Secondly, optimizing the website to make is more user friendly (i.e. faster, easier to navigate and more streamlined). Now I don’t have much experience in this avenue and after months of trying to figure out the IT stuff myself, I figured it was time to ask for help. I’m very fortunate and grateful to have hired a freelancer to make my life a heck of a lot easier. This also allows for more time in the kitchen to spend time doing the things I love!
And finally, I hope in the near future to offer more nutrition and wellness resources that will make YOUR life easier. Think: how-to eBooks, meal planning guides and much more. So stayed tuned for everything to come!
Okay, so now for what you came here for…
If you didn’t know this about me already, I LOVE a good homemade muffin and have a ton of other flavour options on the blog, if you’re interested after trying this one. The idea for this recipe came after receiving the biggest zucchini I have ever seen. My boyfriend’s parents have an incredible fruit and vegetable garden and they have always been so generous in gifting us the produce of their hard work. So this summer, among the cucumber, kale and cherry tomatoes, this massive zucchini fell into our possession. When I say massive, I mean I was able to make multiple meals and test this recipe 3-4 times all with ONE zucchini. And I’m happy to report it’s pretty darn good.
These gluten-free Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins are moist and flavourful. And if you prefer to use regular flour, no problem! I have included some alternative ingredients below.
Build a well-balanced snack by pairing these muffins with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a handful of nuts or an extra drizzle of nut butter for some extra protein and healthy fats.
Besides being extremely versatile in cooking and baking, 1 cup of zucchini provides:
