Zucchini Muffins

  • 1/4 cup (40g) coconut palm sugar

  • 1 cup (125g) spelt flour

  • 1/2 cup (50g) organic cocoa powder

  • 1 tsp baking soda (I didn't have baking powder)

  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F, grease or line muffin tins

  2. Mix all ingredients in a bowl. I found that using my hands was the easiest way.

  3. Spoon in to muffin tins (I got 9 muffins of 50g each)

  4. Bake for about 15 minutes or until bouncy to the touch.

Peanut Butter Frosting

Notes:

A friend of mine who gave me the original recipe swapped a banana for the sugar and used chickpea flour (I only had spelt in the pantry). Hers looked prettier than mine!
