Equipment
- 1 Grain mill or a high powered blender can work
- 2 Mixing Bowls
- Cheese Grater or Vegetable Grater
- Muffin tin
- Paper muffin liners
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh milled soft white wheat
- 1/2 cup organic cacao powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup sourdough discard
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup real maple syrup or raw honey
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups finely grated zucchini
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350, and line a muffin tin with paper liners. If you don't have any liners, you can also grease the muffin pan with butter or coconut oil.
- Using a grain mill or a high powered blender, grind soft white wheat berries into flour to make 1 cup of flour.
- Combine the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, combine flour, cacao powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.
- In a separate small mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, sourdough discard, and maple syrup. Whisk to combine.
- To the wet ingredients add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk again until everything is combined well.
- Wash your zucchini, and grate it finely. If it is really juicy squeeze some of the excess moisture out using a paper towel.
- Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until partially combined, and then add the zucchini and chocolate chips. Mix until just combined, being careful not to over mix.
- Scoop the muffin batter into your prepared baking tin. Fill each one about 3/4 full (about 1/3 cup of batter). This recipe makes about 12 muffins.
- Bake the muffins for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the muffin comes out mostly clean. A little melted chocolate from the chips is fine!
- Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool. Enjoy!
