🥒🍪 Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins (Vegan & Paleo) 🍪🥒
If you’re looking to transition into a healthier lifestyle, these Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins are the perfect way to cure your sweet tooth and get your vegetables in at the same time! I’ve been making these for a while using regular eggs, but recently I’ve made them completely Vegan by using Chia Eggs! Not only does it provide you with a dose of chia seeds in each muffin, but it also removes all of the extra cholesterol that regular eggs typically add! These muffins are Paleo, Vegan, Gluten Free, & 100% Delicious! They’re super easy and make a great addition to breakfast, lunch, or as a night time snack!
