Ingredients:

Wet Ingredients

• ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled (plus more for greasing pan)
• 2 large eggs
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
• 1 zucchini (10 ounces, 1 ½ cups), coarsely grated
• 1 cup pHresh Certified Organic Cacao Powder
• ½ cup coconut sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp sea salt

For the frosting

• ½ cup pHresh Certified Organic Cacao Powder
• 2 cups full-fat plain yogurt
• 4 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray non-stick 12 muffin tin with cooking spray or line with liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Stir to combine.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
4. Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, and stir until smooth. The batter will resemble a cake-like batter consistency.
5. Add the shredded zucchini, and fold it into the mixture.
6. Divide batter into the prepared tin — you can use an ice cream scoop — and bake for 20 minutes, or until tops spring back to the touch or a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
8. While muffins are baking, prepare the frosting. Stir together the pHresh Certified Organic Cacao Powder, pure maple syrup, yogurt, and vanilla extract.
9. Once the muffins are cooled, spread the frosting over the top of the muffins.
10. To store, refrigerate in a glass airtight container for up to 4 days.
