Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine flour, Stevia sugar blend, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cocoa powder in a bowl.
Stir egg replacer (or egg), milk and oil into the dry mix. The batter will be stiff.
Add the zucchini shreds and stir to combine. As the zucchini is incorporated the batter will become softer, but will still be on the thick side.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Fill muffins tins lined with paper liners or coated with cooking spray about ⅔ full. (If using paper liners, give them a spritz too!)
Bake for 20-25 minute or until the muffins are firm.
Allow muffins to cool for 5 minutes in pan and then remove to a wire rack to cool further.
Notes
To replace one egg combine 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 Tablespoon vinegar and 1 Tablespoon water.
