I’ve made a lot of muffin recipes over the around four years that I’ve been baking, and I’m not exaggerating when I say that this is probably the best one I’ve ever made.

I found the recipe from Ambitious Kitchen, but I altered it quite a bit. I love bread, and I love zucchini bread. And blueberry muffins. And chocolate chip cookies. And, well you get the idea. And these muffins are like zucchini bread, blueberry muffins, and chocolate chip cookies all rolled into one healthy, low calorie, vegan, and sugar free muffin. Oh and did I mention that its made with low gluten einkorn flour? I might have had four muffins the second time I made them🤫.

So not only is it amazing for your taste buds, but your body will also thank you for the nutrients and protein in it. These can be made vegan or with a couple eggs and honey for some extra protein. I’ll put both ways to make it in the recipe. I hope you enjoy!

Prep time: around 15-20 minutes Cook time: 25 Total time: 40-45 min. Serves: 12 muffins ( I always double it and save some in the freezer) serving size: 1 muffin ( about 120 calories a muffin)

1. 1 1/2 cups Einkorn flour ( I used Jovial with this recipe)
2. 1 tsp Baking soda
3. 1/4 tsp salt
4. 1 tsp cinnamon
5. 1 1/2 – 2 cups shredded zucchini ( squeezed of excess liquid in a kitchen towel or cheese cloth)
6. 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
7. One full squirt of hazelnut stevia ( it enhances the sweetness of the maple syrup/honey)
8. 1/3 cup applesauce
9. 1/4 cup nut milk ( I used coconut)
10. 1 egg ( completely optional. I forgot to put eggs in my batch and it turned out just like normal)
11. 2 Tbs melted coconut or avocado oil
12. 1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries or mixed berries
13. 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
14. 1/4 cup stevia sweetened chocolate chips ( optional but totally recommended 😉)
