Ingredients
WET INGREDIENTS
1 medium ripe banana
3 organic eggs
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
Zest of half medium lemon
1 tablespoon of organic honey
2 tablespoons of coconut oil melted
DRY INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup of shredded coconut
1/3 cup of coconut flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (optional)
1/2 cup of grated zucchini (excess of water squeezed out - see notes) (approx. 100 grams of zucchini before grating)
Handful of pepitas to decorate
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200 degree Celsius in baking mode
In a large bowl, mash the banana.
Add the eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, coconut oil, and whisk to combine
In a medium bowl, add the shredded coconut, coconut flour, baking powder and rosemary. Combine with a fork making sure you break apart all the lumps.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk to combine. Add the grated zucchini and combine.
Line a muffin tray with muffin cups and fill each cup to the very top. Add pepitas on top to decorate.
Put in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
Let the muffins cool down before eating for best consistency.
Notes
- Grated zucchini - the measure of 1/2 cup if after squeezing out the excess of water. Use a milk bag for best results - I highly recommend not skipping this step!!
- Let the muffins cool down before eating, the consistency is so much better. My personal preference is to eat them cool from the fridge 🙂
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge.
