Chunky Monkey Zucchini Banana Muffins

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with muffin liners and spray the inside of the liners with nonstick cooking spray. This is critical to making sure the muffins don’t stick to the liners.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, mix together the following with a wooden spoon: mashed banana, olive oil, honey, egg, vanilla extract, shredded zucchini and almond milk.

Step 4

Gently sir in dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips, walnuts and shredded coconut.

Step 5

Divide batter evenly between greased muffin liners. Sprinkle the tops with extra chocolate chips and coconut, if desired. Bake for 22-27 minutes. Muffins are done when a toothpick comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.

Step 6

Allow muffins to cool in muffin tin for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Store muffins in airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Muffins can also be frozen for up to three months.
