These are the best muffins i’ve ever made.
And that is saying something since my rise + shine muffins are my top recipe and always go viral.
They taste like banana bread + a choc zucchini loaf had a passionate love affair…and make these.

This recipe is part of my Feel Good Treats Summer series, where we’re all about enjoying your favorite treats but making them healthier so you feel really freaking good! All the treats are damn delicious and also happen to be gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, anti-inflammatory, and mostly vegan.
I started developing these feel-good treats after being diagnosed with Lyme disease. Check out the story and video here!

Ingredients
1 1/2 bananas, peeled + mashed
2 eggs
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup)
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tablespoons coconut oil, melted
2 1/2 cups zucchini, washed and shredded (no need to peel)
1 cup gluten-free flour mix (I like bobs red mill)
1/3 cup cacao powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon diamond crystal kosher salt
3/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips, plus more for the topping
Flakey sea salt for topping
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and spray or line your muffins tins (or use food grade silicone muffins tins).
- In a large bowl, add mashed banana, eggs, peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and melted coconut oil. Stir until well combined.
- Shred your zuchinni, and then squeeze it to release excess moisture. You can just use your hands and squeeze it out. Toss excess moisture. Add the squeezed zuchinni to the bowl and combine.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, cacao powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and stir to combine. Add this bowl of dry mix to the wet mix and stir it all to combine.
- Add in choc chips and stir.
- Add the batter to your tin and top with a few choc chips on each and a pinch of flakey sea salt. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 30-45 minutes. ENJOY!
Notes
- Super tasty with some nut butter spread on!
Do you use bobs red mill 1-1 flour? Of gf all purpose flour?
I Use bobs red mill GF flour blend
Can you substitute regular flour for GF?
I would guess yes! But I haven’t personally tried it. Let me know how it goes!
I made these last weekend and they are so delicious! I will definitely be making these again. If you haven’t tried these you should.
I just made these, but I subbed 1 rounded cup almond flour and 3 Tbsp tapioca flour for the gf flour. They turned out SO GOOD and moist! Perfect! 😋
These are so good they feel like I shouldn’t be eating them. 🙂 I’ve made these on a few occasions now and have gotten a feel for how thick/runny the batter should be. This last time the batter was a bit thick. I thinned it with a few Tblsp of coffee. This worked perfectly and complimented the dark chocolate chips I used. So good!
