THE SECRETS OF THESE LOW CARB CHOCOLATE BANANA MUFFINS
And the low carb secret is... coconut flour & grated zucchini. You're getting an extra dose of veggies with these muffins, happy days!
TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST LOW CARB CHOCOLATE BANANA MUFFINS
Squeeze the water out of the grated zucchini, this will ensure you get the best consistency and the muffins don't end up too wet.
Don't tightly pack the coconut flour, the measure in the recipe is with fluffed flour.
Use ripe bananas, they're naturally sweeter!
Use organic eggs, they're the main source of protein of these muffins so it's super important to buy good quality ones!
Let the muffins cool down before you eat them, I know this can be SO HARD! But really the consistency is much better!
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container.

Line a muffin tray with compostable cups (7-8 large ) and add batter to each cup. Fill up each muffin cup to the top. Add a few pepitas at the very top of each muffin to decorate
