½<\/span> cup<\/span> unsweetened applesauce<\/span><\/div>\n
½<\/span> tsp<\/span> vanilla extract<\/span><\/div>\n
½<\/span> cup<\/span> cocoa<\/span><\/div>\n
2<\/span> tbsp<\/span> coconut flour*<\/span><\/div>\n
⅓<\/span> cup<\/span> cup arrowroot flour* <\/span><\/div>\n
1.50<\/span> tsp<\/span> baking soda<\/span><\/div>\n
½<\/span> tsp<\/span> cinnamon<\/span><\/div>\n
⅛<\/span> tsp<\/span> sea salt<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> <\/span> medium zucchini, grated on smallest hole size <\/span><\/div>\n
½<\/span> cup<\/span> cocoa nibs (for a sugar-free version) or mini chocolate chips<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Directions<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n

Preheat oven to 350\u02daF. Mix wet ingredients with and food processor fitted with an S blade until the dates are fully chopped and the mixture looks almost whipped. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Add dry ingredients into the wet mixture and mix to combine. Then add the squeezed-out zucchini and mix again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Spoon batter into lined muffin cups. Bake for 28-30 minutes. Allow the muffins to cool in cups just until they can be handled. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely before eating. This recipe freezes well. Defrost at room temperature.<\/p>\n

* If you don\u2019t have nut allergies and you\u2019d like to avoid using 2 different ingredients, substitute the coconut and arrowroot flour with \u00bd cup Rorie\u2019s Grain-Free Flour Blend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5128,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fullnfree.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe\/3300"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fullnfree.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fullnfree.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cp_recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fullnfree.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fullnfree.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3300"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fullnfree.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fullnfree.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
