Chocolate Zucchini Muffins | Gluten Free Muffin Recipe

[@hasna6096]

I have made these muffins so many times, I almost memorized the ingredient list! They are so moist and chocolaty and most of all guilt free!!

[@blulinebaits]

There is a huge problem with your recipe.... It only made like eight muffins in my batch...... Because I ended up licking most of it up before it even made the muffin pan....hehehe... Fantastic recipe thank you and keep up the good work!!!!!!

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

LOL! I have that problem too. :)

[@ArlettleWilliams]

Lol good one..

I love that Dany always add the recipe below the video. It is much easier when cooking and watching the video just to look below the ingredients :) thanks

[@CricketNewJersey]

Why do people have to complain???? Dani, you can take as many breaks as you want and we so appreciate all the tips and info you generously give to all of us! Keep up the great work!

[@shifrabaila6673]

I never thought of that. Thank you and I will use your suggestion. Brilliant!

[@mysugarplumcottage]

Dani, we love the zucchini juice! I juice the overgrown ones in our garden. We add a little lemon or lime juice, a pinch of pink sea salt and a dash of cayenne. It makes a refreshing tonic! And, thank you for an awesome recipe!

[@talisad5412]

When grating my zucchini I don't cut the stem end off and use it as a handle so I do not have an odd end to deal with.

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Great tip!! Thanks for sharing.

I was going to comment about that too, and you are less likely to cut your fingertips :)

[@wendyr1762]

These were so so delicious! I do want to point out for those of us that are on a lectin free diet, that this recipe works very well deseeding and peeling the zucchini first before shredding it. It does have much less liquid this way as well, but still needs to be squeezed out with a towel, and I added a tablespoon of Avocado oil to make up for the moisture loss. I also used Monk Fruit in place of the coconut sugar, and included chopped pecans on top with the dark chocolate nibs. Super good recipe I will make over and over for my family. Thank you Dani!

[@davajo3868]

100% agreed about the greater quality of pasture eggs. I'm always baking at least once a week if I can. When my family used to have chickens roaming loose in our fenced backyard and horse pasture, I'd have fun collecting the eggs from their boxes (and hunting down the rest LOL) and use *both* store bought as well as free range, just to see the difference. WOW.

[@chetbunce5284]

I am a type diabetic and LOVE cookies and struggling to eat wright. I am now to this channel and lovin what I see. Thank you.

[@black4460]

So unbelievably good. Just made them with my son. Delicious. Put gluten in and once without both are the same. Yum yum

[@bettykay89]

These came out delicious! I just had Bariatric surgery and have been looking for lower sugar recipes and this really worked out well for me. I’ll be making the banana oatmeal muffins next

[@charlotteskadal6539]

Imagine me leaping around my house in "chocolate bliss"! :) These muffins turned out perfect....but I did alter the recipe just a tiny bit....I added a touch of cinnamon and instant coffee granules for even more 'morning' flavor! My mother LOVED them and will make her own batch. It will be her first GF/Clean and Delicious baking attempt! Thanks so much Dani!

[@isabelazzalin]

I just made these and I am impressed by their texture. They rose in the oven and are spongy (not many healthy desserts feel exactly as their originals- full fat, sugary versions). They definitely need more sugar though. I added 1/4 cup of stevia on top of the 1/4 cup of the coconut sugar on the recipe, and I still think it needs an extra 1/4 cup, but the chocolate chips really help with that. Thanks for the recipe Dani!!! I will make these again.

[@samias.2092]

I love all recipes that have a base of almond flour or almond butter. They are so much tastier.

[@hollyrutledge3628]

I had made several of your recipes and was a fan but when we started staying home for the pandemic I decided I would work my way through all your recipes. We have loved them all and it has been great trying to eat healthy and trying new recipes at the same time!Thank you for keeping happy and healthy!💗

[@charitys.3862]

I just started really getting into her recepies and have loved everyone so far. Yesterday I tried the 3 ingredients cookie, banana oatmeal and chocolate chips, let's just say there are not many left!! Lol. I don't think thats what she was intending w her recepies but it was just soo good!!

[@janelandry6584]

Just found your channel and am binge watching. I love you message about looking for and using healthy food instead of focusing on what you cannot have. Great!

[@tammyredl9924]

I made these today. I was blown away at how good they were. I'm so excited to have a more nutritious, doughy, chocolaty, yumminess to enjoy! Thank you so much for this recipe my entire family love them.

Zuchini water is really good for house plants! Lots of vitamins 🙂

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

After sharing my recipe for Chocolate Zucchini Snack Cake last year, I had lots of requests for a gluten free version. So here it is!! 100% Grain + Gluten Free Chocolate Zucchini Muffins. Enjoy!! xo

[@Fumblingcone805]

Clean & Delicious i can't wait to try this! do u by chance have some C&D lemon cake recipe? yummm.

[@ptlovefit]

What about doing banana instead of the zucchini ?

[@lottalarsson4121]

Thank you. I have allergy against not only wheat but rye, barley and oats. Research has shown that more than gluten affects immunsystem, if you have the allergy. Research did show cross reactions between grass pollen, wheat, citrus fruits and kiwi. Since wheat and the others are like grasses it stands to reason.

[@leaveittoweaver4525]

What could I sub for the almond butter? My dad has nut allergies?

[@lottalarsson4121]

+LeAvE it to WeAvEr I have nut allergies too. One can substitute with seed butter, like sunflower, pumpkin, sesame etc.

[@amberherrick2983]

I made these tonight. The texture was really great. I am prediabetic, so I subbed sweetener for the coconut sugar in equal amounts. I didn't think they were sweet enough. I will definitely make them again, but I will add more sweetener, probably equivalent to a cup. Thanks for the grain free recipes as I can't eat grains anymore.

[@kayp.3832]

These are AMAZING!!!! I've made them two weeks in a row and I'm obsessed and floored that it's mostly made from Almond Butter....who would have thought. It's given me so many more ideas of ways I can replace flour with nut butters. I prefer baking egg whites and just add 2 1/4 cups of egg whites to substitute the egg requirement. I also add in few chopped walnuts (approx 1/3 cup) (pecans might be yummy too) and instead of the chocolate chips, I chop some baking chocolate (73 percent, about 1/3 cup as well) and add it in so there are chocolate patches throughout. But this is amazing overall. Thanks Dani!

[@djddean6100]

Dani , thank you so much for the gluten free recipes that you make , that are really good tasting, and work.! Love your "Clean eating " Enjoy all of your recipes. You are my go to for any veggie on the market to educate myself on how to prepare and cook. Thanks !

[@monadesai9042]

I make these too!! and I throw in a ripe banana or two, I use organic raw honey instead of coconut sugar, and a couple of tbsp's of ground flaxseed ..... and I just make my own almond butter using a food processor- very easy to make also! Great recipe and thanks for sharing a healthy version ! 😊

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Sounds delicious!!

[@tonib5952]

How much honey would you put?

[@fanachezz4560]

@Mona Desai, my son is pre-diabetic, so we can use only natural sugars and honey. How much honey would you add. Also since you are already adding the ripe bananas, would say that the honey is really necessary? - although for kids the sweeter the better :) . Thanks for sharing

[@ElizaDolittle]

I just posted a comment that I followed this recipe but I swapped the zucchini and cocoa for bananas and cinnamon/nutmeg. I forgot to mention that I didn't use coconut sugar, I used agave nectar (two tablespoons). They turned out so moist and tasty!

[@aidafelix996]

I just made this muffins, replaced the coconut sugar for monkfruit sweetener they turned out delicious! Thank you for this recipe :)

[@jeniceng2062]

Where do you buy it ?

[@jeniceng2062]

Monkfruit

[@bobbiemontgomery6584]

@@jeniceng2062 - You canmourchase Monkfruit at Costco or Sprouts and Whole Food..

[@ElizaDolittle]

I used agave nectar - turned out great as well!

[@SunnahTaqwa]

Thanks so much for the comment, I wanted to do the same, can you please let me know if you swapped the exact same amount or did you lower/increase the amount of monk fruit sweetener? I bought mine from Bulk Barn (just for reference)

[@suemitchell2200]

I have made this recipe 4 times. Absolutely love it. Gets easier every time. For some reason I crave chocolate now that I am on the Keto way of eating. Never cared about chocolate before. Weird what your body wants. One cup cake and I am satisfied.

[@sunnydn922]

Wow these muffins came out great! Just like the picture and they baked in the exact time the recipe said! The texture was chewy and delicious. I used heavy cream and a different sugar substitute which they didn’t come out sweet enough but we’re still yummy! 😋

[@ElizaDolittle]

I am going to make these one day, but just wanted to say this recipe is a perfect base for tweaking. I swapped the zucchini for bananas and added cinnamon and nutmeg instead of cocoa. Everything else was the same as this recipe. The end result were delicious, moist cupcakes! Can't wait to try it with the zucchini and cocoa though! Also, since almond butter can be expensive, I want to try this recipe with a mix of half cup of almond butter and half cup of strained plain yogurt. When I try I will let you know how they turn out!

[@wandabamber5032]

I made these today, outstanding. Moist and delicious.

my, my, these were scrupdeleeeeishous!!!!!! super moist and really good flavor. (and i put the zucchini juice in my regular daily green juice, a slightly modified recipe from lisa at downshiftology, in place of another green veg) truly yummmmm...i only made a couple of slight substitutions, i used raw sugar instead of coconut sugar and coconut milk instead of the almond. will be a regular at my house! thank you, dani! 💕

[@pamdavis6604]

Love this recipe ❤I did add a Lil mini chocolate chips in the batter and some bakers tiny walnuts. And sprinkled just few mini chips on top. They turned out great! Wonderful!! Dani is this recipe in your cook book? *would you happen to have a baked eggplant parmesean recipe? Healthy version?

[@lulinasser]

Thank you so much for this recipe! I'm allergic to a milk protein called casein and I also have a high level of intolerance to gluten. The types of food I can eat are very restricted (otherwise I end up in a hospital) and I miss these kind of decadent foods and pastries, because the traditional ones are usually full of dairy and gluten. That's why I love this channel! You just made my day! :)

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

I'm so glad you are able to find recipes here that work for you and your lifestyle!! I so appreciate you taking the time to let me know. xo

[@rose-peg]

Can you include calories please.

[@jmr152]

nutritional information is listed in the description box at the bottom of the recipe. :)

[@mynameshopee]

I am allergic to Casein too!!! I haven’t met anyone else who is! When I tell people I can’t have dairy they always assume I am lactose intolerant and that i Can still eat some dairy! And i always have to explain that i can’t have ANY dairy! Hahaha

[@amandamandamands]

I can't have dairy or gluten so I substitute gluten free flour for the normal one and nuttelex or a no dairy margarine for the butter, soy or almond milk for the milk and then I can just follow the recipe as written. I'm in Australia so there are plain and self raising otherwise there are coconut, chickpea, lentil etc etc. Depending on what I am making depends on what combos of the different flours I use and if I am using one of my non traditional flours I add bicarbonate of soda to it to help it rise. Have used this successfully for a few different cake/muffin recipes.

[@KateWiium]

can I substitute with peanut butter? =)

[@marycampbell6658]

I have been making these for some time now. Today I added a heaping tsp of slightly sweetened cream cheese in the middle and they are great!

[@nadia.7950]

I didnt have any kind of butter, but I really wanted this recipe for my Bday cake. What I changed: I used 1 cup of Almond flour; 1 tbsp apple cider vinager & ½ tbsp baking soda, instead of baking powder; 1 cup of Stevia; I didn't squeeze the zucchini but also didn't add any liquid. Mixed all the ingredients using a food processor. Made mini muffins and they turned out cute and yummy 🥰

[@Downshiftology]

I love zucchini bread and zucchini muffins. And they're always better when made chocolatey! ;)

[@marcar7612]

Thanks 🙏🏼 for this wonderful recipe. I made it tonight. It is super delicious. 😋😋😋 One ☝🏼very incredible thing was that gluten free recipes tend not to raise. This recipe grows up quite a bit. Some of the batch ran down the sides during the baking process. So next time I will put lees in the cups. I added one scoop of meat protein powder and 1/4 cup apple 🍏 sauce. It is fantastic 🤩 I will make this recipe over and over again 🥳 LOL

I'm definitely making this, this weekend, I have low blood sugar, but love love love chocolate muffins, I also use cacao instead of cocoa. And these won't mess with levels.

[@observer698]

I didn't know the difference, googled and learned afterward thanks. But since you are cooking cacao inside the muffin isn't it the same as using cocoa then?
