Raspberry Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins

 

One of my favorite healthy recipe sites is Skinnytaste.com - she has healthy, simple and delicious recipes for just about everything!!  This week, I had produce in the fridge that needed to be used, so I started looking for some recipes on my favorite site. I found a great chocolate chip zucchini bread recipe and I thought I would try adding raspberries as well - the result was DELICIOUS!!!

 

I made both regular muffins and mini muffins for the kids, which has been a perfect on the go breakfast this week.

Sodium: 248.4 mg 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all purpose flour (I used unbleached)

Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well.

In a medium bowl, mix egg, vanilla, melted butter, apple sauce, zucchini and raspberries. Add to the flour mixture and stir until just blended.

Bake at 325° for 25 minutes (mini muffins for about 10-15 minutes), or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for about 10 minutes.

Thank you Skinnytaste for the great recipe and the raspberries added a unique fruity pairing with the chocolate!
