What’s better than double chocolate, melt-in-your-mouth muffins?
Healthy, grain-free, dairy-free, double chocolate, melt-in-your-mouth muffins with 110 calories, under 7 grams of fat, over 2 grams of protein, and (get this) 8 grams of sugar!
Try saying that 3 times.
Hard, isn’t it.
You know what’s not hard?
Eating 3 of these in one sitting.
Not like I did that or anything…
Hey, they’re packed with health… and I had to make sure they were blog quality!
When Christi from Love from the Oven asked me to help her come up with a healthy chocolate chip muffin recipe that was kid-friendly and packed with zucchini, I took her up on the challenge. 3 tries later, and a freezer full of retakes Kevin’s snack for the next 3 weeks, I finally felt confident that my muffins were ready for the masses.
Head on over to Love from the Oven to check out the recipe!

I LOVE using zucchini in baked goods! Sneaky veggies
Just checked out the recipe!! Looks like a perfect treat and fun to make with the kids!!
Those muffins are adorable — and I love your photos with them — makes me want to go buy some school supplies.
Thanks, Holly! Those supplies are SO old. I couldn’t believe I still had them!
Holy Cow!!!! You’re a genius!! I love all your sweets….swoon.
xxoo
Cute! I’m curious how these could be grain free…ill have to go check out the link
These look great! Cant wait to make them!
Chocolate and zucchini – yes! What a fun shoot too. All the kid supplies are too cute!
She’s in my Reader and I just saw that post come up.
I’m off to her site…
I NEVER crave chocolate, but for some reason lately, I have been. I’m definitely making these! Thank you for sharing!
dessert for breakfast… what could be better. Every so often you get that sweet tooth in the morning and these look perfect for times like these.

Oh yum! Definitely didn’t realize they had zucchini in them – but all the better =)
Would it be ok for me to eat them all? I mean they are totally healthy!
Made these…they.are.ridiculously-good!!!!! OH EM GEE!!! These are the best muffins I have ever made, thanks for the recipe, it is archived
I am salivating. Nothing better than chocolate muffins. Too bad, that coconut flour is not available in Dubai (yet). With what can I substitute it? Any ideas? Something GF-free if possible?
I just read about these on your guest post for love from the oven. I am so excited to give these a try!! Thanks and hoping they worl on my picky eaters!
Hi….I am really wanting to try these but I want to double check the ingredients. Only 1/4 cup flour for 12 muffins?
Yes, only 1/4 cup! Coconut flour is weird that way. Enjoy
OMG, these muffins are absolutely insane! What a treat! I just prepared a batch, I have let them cooled down a bit and I shared one with my son (well, it’s just before lunch, so…)… let me tell you, I will have to ensure control over these jewels. Thank you so much!
P.S. Leanne: I also thought 1/4 cup of flour was not much, but the muffins turned out just fine. In your reply to Susan, you indicated the measurement as 1/2 cup; is it 1/4 cup of 1/2 cup?
I’m so happy you like them! It should be 1/4 cup, sorry about the confusion.
Is there a good substitute for coconut flour? allergic to coconut
Hi Tamie – best to opt for one of my muffin recipes that doesn’t have coconut flour as it’s very hard to substitute.
What can I replace the zucchini with? shredded apple? carrot?
Hi Rebeca – I’m sure you could use shredded apple, that may be nice!
