Scale
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup kefir
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini, unpeeled and not squeezed
  • 1 and ¼ cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a muffin tin with liners. Set aside.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and mashed banana. Add in olive oil and kefir. Mix well. Add in shredded zucchini and mix again.
