Ingredients for making vegan chocolate zucchini muffins

Must-Have Ingredients

Prepare the Chocolate Zucchini Muffins using the following ingredients:

  • Flour. Start with flour to create the batter for your flavorful muffins.
  • Cocoa. Adding cocoa to the mix will give your muffins that chocolate taste that you’re craving.
  • Coconut Oil. Melt your coconut oil down before you use it.
  • Maple Syrup or sugar. Use maple syrup to give these muffins a naturally sweet touch. But they come out perfect if you want to use sugar.
  • Rice Milk. You can use rice milk or coconut milk in this recipe.
  • Zucchini. Grate your zucchini and remove the moisture from it before adding it to your batter.

You’ll also need to have baking powder, baking soda, salt, apple cider vinegar (affiliate link), and vanilla to prepare these Chocolate Zucchini Muffins.

How Many Servings Does the Recipe Make?

When following this recipe, you’ll have enough batter to make approximately 12 muffins. Double the recipe if you’d like to make 24 muffins! You can always freeze them and save them for later.

How Do I Remove the Excess Moisture From Zucchini?

While you’re grating the zucchini, place a clean kitchen towel underneath it. Once you finish grating it all, let the zucchini sit for up to 15 minutes before closing the towel and squeezing out all the extra moisture from the zucchini. You can squeeze the grated zucchini out over the sink to avoid making a mess on your kitchen table.

Can I Use a Loaf Pan Instead of a Muffin Pan?

If you’d rather make bread instead of muffins, you can always pour your batter into a loaf pan. It’ll need to cook for about the same time, but you can check if it’s done by placing a toothpick into the bread before removing it from the oven.

Once it’s done in the oven, allow it to cool down before you start slicing it. You can wrap the slices in plastic wrap and keep the Chocolate Zucchini Muffins refrigerated or frozen to stay fresh.

Tips, tricks & other recipes:
