Hi guys! I am so stoked to be here today sharing a favorite paleo recipe with you all! First of all, let me introduce myself, so you aren’t just eating food made by a stranger;) I am Kaylie, the founder of paleoglutenfree.com. I am 20 years old and I love baking without grains! Basically, making healthy food look and taste good is my thing. One look at a clean kitchen will make me want to bake all over again. I live off of brussel sprouts, kale chips, and almond butter. And if you don’t love vegetables disguised as Chocolate Muffins then I’m not sure if we can be friends….. Just kidding, I’m sure I’ll still like you;)
A huge thank you to Juli for sharing Her corner of the internet with me today! I was that 16 year old girl who poured over every cookbook and blog post of Juli’s, so being here is a dream! Thanks girl!

Now, about these muffins. These muffins are everything a muffin should be. Big. Huge. A little Veg. A little protein. And a whole lot of chocolate! These bakery style chocolate zucchini muffins were made in extra large muffin tins (hence the Baker Style). If you don’t have a large muffin tin, it’s okay! You can use a normal sized muffin tin and it will make more. Really, you can’t go wrong. Also, another note on this recipe: I used black cocoa.. But if you don’t have any, you can just use the normal brown stuff.
These muffins are fudgy, soft, moist, and a healthy decadent treat for brunch… or really any day. Enjoy!

oh wow, these look scrumptious! can’t wait to make these!! 😀
just made them and THANKS. I’m dairy and soy free right now due to me breast feeding my allergic daughter. I SO NEEDED THESE even if they have 40 carbs 😉
Love your recipes! Do you think I can use oat flour instead of a nut flour?
I just found your recipe and blog. I can’t wait to try these muffins! And if you are making them, who is counting carbs anyway? The carbs are also added from the bananas and zucchini (both good for you). Just make mini muffins and the carbs will be “bite sized”. Thank you for putting this recipe together for all to view.
Do you know the full nutritional breakdown of one of these?
I goofed on the recipe…and they were STILL good!!! I melted the coconut oil on the stove…and noticed it still there after I put the muffins in the oven. My girls are gobbling them up now, and I plan to make another batch today (to use the oil & leftover zucchini we still have). Thanks for a really great recipe!! 😀
I would love to make these today, but I do not have any of the suggested flour (coconut and almond). Would it work with quinoa flour if so, should I use the same quantity. Merci
i would recommend sticking with how the recipe is written
Over 40 grams of carbs in each?! Saving to try! I’m a little confused about the title though since there is almond and coconut flour in them.
I made these a week ago as normal sized muffins and they were absolutely delightful. The only problem is that they didn’t last very long since everyone ate them so quickly. I have another batch in the oven now and I’m stoked 🙂
Hi!! I am LOVING you girl!!! I was wondering what I could sub for the honey? I want to make these for my kiddos but my daughter is under 1 so she can’t have honey just yet. Thanks lady!!
you could use maple syrup instead!
