Paleo Zucchini Muffins are a delicious breakfast that contains a serving of both fruits and veggies! These paleo zucchini banana muffins are grain-free with no refined sugar.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a standard muffin pan, set aside.
Combine the coconut flour, almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl, set aside.
Put banana, coconut sugar, and coconut oil into your food processor fitted with the “S” blade or blender (Vitamix) and process until smooth.
Add the eggs, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar and process/blend until just combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and pulse to combine.
Add the zucchini and process/blend until evenly mixed into the batter.
Mix in chocolate chips (or cinnamon chips) by hand.
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of each muffin comes out clean. (To make into bread bake in 9x5” loaf pan for 35-40 minutes!)
These muffins freeze VERY well. I make a batch, freeze them and pop them out for an easy, healthy breakfast for my kids! I just reheat for 1 minute in the microwave (from frozen) and let them cool a bit! My kids LOVE these.

Notes
Ingredient Substitutions
Coconut sugar. Any granulated sugar can be used in this recipe. Just be sure that you choose a variety that complies with your dietary needs.
Coconut oil. Grass-fed butter or ghee can be used in place of coconut oil.
Chocolate chips. These are optional but recommended! Really you can use any mix-in that you'd like, the possibilities are endless! You can also use cinnamon chips (although they are not paleo they are delicious)!
Banana. You can replace the banana with applesauce.
Paleo Chocolate Chips & Bars
Sometimes it's hard to figure out which chocolate chips are Paleo, so I'll discuss some of my favorite healthier chocolate options!
Hu Kitchen Chocolate Gems. This is my favorite paleo chocolate. These gems are delicious and easy to toss into cookies (no bar chopping required).
Hu Kitchen Dark Chocolate Bars. You can also buy dark chocolate bars and chop them up to toss into these paleo chocolate chip cookies.
Lily's Dark Chocolate. They make chips and bars that are stevia sweetened, low carb, keto, etc.
Let the muffins cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They last in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to two months.
