Chocolate Chip Zucchini Blender Muffins

It was only a matter of time. We had to master the blender muffin in zucchini bread form. All the goodness of our other blender muffins – whole grain, banana sweetened, and minimal clean up – with a classic zucchini bread twist.

The magic of blender muffins is you throw all the ingredients into a blender. Blend it up. Stir in a couple ingredients and you’re ready to bake! Just that easy. Just that quick. If zucchini muffins aren’t your thing or you want to try ALL the blender muffins, we’ve got Chocolate Banana, Apple Cinnamon, Pumpkin, Banana Bread, and these Sweet Potato Bars almost count. By the end of this, we’re going to have a whole BOOK of blender muffins and baked goods! Grab yourself a good blender – it’s worth it!

For the blender muffin newbies, they are a different texture than your typical quick breads and store bought muffins. The sweetness comes from bananas and the substance comes from oats. This means they are more dense than a typical muffin. I highly, highly recommend letting them cool and freezing them right away – even if you plan on eating them within the week! Then, pop into the microwave for 30 seconds before eating and it’s warm, soft and those melty chocolate chips are perfection. My absolute favorite snack these days!

It’s up to you if you want to share or not. But, if you stash them in the freezer no one will know they are there!! Enjoy!

Other Thoughts

• If you enjoy cinnamon, double that amount!
• If you do not have a blender blend oats, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Remove and place in a medium bowl. Blend bananas, greek yogurt, avocado oil, eggs and vanilla. Add to medium bowl. Stir. Add remaining ingredients.
• Highly recommend putting these right into the freezer after they cool. Then, defrost one in the microwave every time you want one. Those melty chocolate chips get me every time!
