We loved these. Thank you for the recipe. I used mashed banana instead of the applesauce because I had some to use up but that was the only thing I changed. I doubled it and it made 30 muffins, great to share and freeze.
I did a few changes based off what I had: I used regular flour, no cacao, and added some unflavored protein powder. Turned out so tasty! The only additional change I had to make was adding a little water to my zucchini to ensure it blended. Thank you!
Really delicious and moist! Definitely taste healthier, which is absolutely what I was looking for. Another amazing recipe! Used ultra dark chocolate powder and regular flour, still turned out great!!
