Ingredients:

 4 Eggs
 8 pitted Medjool dates
 ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
 ½ tsp vanilla extract
 ½ cup cocoa
 2 tbsp coconut flour*
  cup cup arrowroot flour*
 1.50 tsp baking soda
 ½ tsp cinnamon
  tsp sea salt
 1 medium zucchini, grated on smallest hole size
 ½ cup cocoa nibs (for a sugar-free version) or mini chocolate chips

Directions:

1

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Mix wet ingredients with and food processor fitted with an S blade until the dates are fully chopped and the mixture looks almost whipped.

2

Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Place grated zucchini in a cheese cloth or thin towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

3

Add dry ingredients into the wet mixture and mix to combine. Then add the squeezed-out zucchini and mix again.

4

Spoon batter into lined muffin cups. Bake for 28-30 minutes. Allow the muffins to cool in cups just until they can be handled.

5

Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely before eating. This recipe freezes well. Defrost at room temperature.

* If you don’t have nut allergies and you’d like to avoid using 2 different ingredients, substitute the coconut and arrowroot flour with ½ cup Rorie’s Grain-Free Flour Blend.

Note: Different companies of cocoa will produce a different outcome. If the cocoa you are using is very dark in color reduce the amount to 1/4-1/3 cup. Darker cocoa will produce a thicker batter and a denser muffin.
