HEALTHY DOUBLE CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 12 cup muffin tin with cupcake liners and generously spray inside of liners with nonstick cooking spray.
• Squeeze shredded zucchini of excess water with a paper towel. This is important, so don't forget!
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, add coconut oil, honey/maple syrup, vanilla, egg; mix on medium-low until smooth and well combined. Add in zucchini, banana (or applesauce) and almondmilk; mix again. Slowly add in dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
• Evenly divide batter into prepared liners. Bake 22-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted into middle comes out clean. After 5 minutes, remove muffins and transfer to wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!

WHOLE WHEAT ZUCCHINI MUFFINS

Steps:

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl combine the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in the grated zucchini and then the melted butter. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir these dry ingredients into the zucchini mixture. Stir in walnuts, raisins or cranberries if using.
• 2 Coat each muffin cup in your muffin pan with a little butter or vegetable oil spray. Use a spoon to distribute the muffin dough equally among the cups, filling the cups up completely. Bake on the middle rack until muffins are golden brown, and the top of the muffins bounce back when you press on them, about 25 to 30 minutes. Test with a long toothpick or a thin bamboo skewer to make sure the center of the muffins are done. Set on wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Remove muffins from the tin let cool another 20 minutes.
• Note, if you are including walnuts and dried fruit, you will likely have more batter than is needed for 12 muffins. I got about 14 muffins from this batch, and that included filling the muffin cups up as far as they could possibly go (above the surface of the muffin tin).

HOMEMADE HOT COCOA MIX

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine all ingredients. Mix well.
• Pour 1/3 of the mixture into a blender with a lid and blend well. Pour into a quart jar with lid.
• Blend remaining 2/3 powder in batches until all blended.
• Blending is not required but if you do not blend, you'll get clumps. Blending it ensures an even mixture and no clumps.
• When ready to enjoy, add 1/3 cup of hot cocoa powder to 8 ounces of boiling water.
• The cooler the hot cocoa gets, the thicker your hot chocolate will be!
