- 1 large zucchini to yield 1 cup of shreds
- ¼ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup unbleached all purpose flour
- â…“ cup sugar or I bet you could use one really ripe banana
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 egg beaten
- ¼ cup non-fat Greek yogurt or Plain yogurt
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Shred the zucchini using the large holes of a grater.
- Spread zucchini shreds out on a towel and top with another towel. Gently press down to remove excess liquid. Measure out 1 cup of shreds and set aside.
- Combine flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Stir egg and yogurt 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 â…” full. (If using paper liners, give them a spritz too!)
- Bake for 20-25 minute or until the muffins are firm and lightly browned on the top.
- Allow muffins to cool for 5 minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool further.
I also made breakfast burritos prior to coming up and froze them and just heated up when ready. We enjoyed those three days and had some oatmeal the other. For lunches I kept it simple with peanut butter sandwiches for RJ and Hubby and Tuna sandwiches for me. We enjoyed them with cuties and sun chips. For snacks I brought LARABARS of course and we enjoyed jerky and trail mix. Every night we had some kind of fun s’mores. I tried to pack as little fridge food as possible. We each were in charge of one dinner every night (we went with 7 other families) so it was nice not to have to pack dinners!!
