Paleo Zucchini Chocolate Chip Mini-Muffins

So you’ve been paleo for a while…eat healthy most of the time…and stick pretty close to the paleo guidelines. You’ve seen results in the way you look and feel. So you’re thinking, I deserve a sweet little reward – but not something so over the top that it knocks you off the paleo wagon…

Well, here’s a super-easy paleo recipe that should satisfy that sweet tooth of yours.

I made these moist and delicious gluten-free paleo mini-muffins with a healthy heaping of fresh grated zucchini plus a sprinkling of dark chocolate chips so you can enjoy these practically guilt-free.

To spice things up I added ground cinnamon for extra flavor, and bonus, cinnamon’s so good for you – it helps regulate your blood sugar level along with a lot of other healthy benefits. 

This recipe yields about 40 mini muffins, but you can certainly make these as standard-size muffins if you prefer – you’ll just need to bake them longer. After whipping these up, I stored half in the freezer for a heat-and-eat snack whenever we want.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1 tbs ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp allspice
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 eggs, whisked
• 1/3 cup raw honey
