Chocolate Zucchini Muffins. I know zucchini is not in season, but it is one of those veggies you can get year-round. Thank goodness because how else would you be able to make these delicious muffins?! This is a great way to sneak some nutrients into an otherwise indulgent treat. You can actually make this a little healthier by subbing spelt flour and coconut sugar for the all purpose flour and brown sugar. Gluten-free flour also works well. I like to make these in half batches since we are a family of three, but feel free to double the recipe to make a dozen.

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a 6-cup muffin tin with liners.

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, egg, brown sugar and vanilla paste. Add dry ingredients all at once and stir until just combined.
