Chocolate and Courgette Muffins

A few weeks ago I had one of those wonderful baking experiences where you just throw together what you have in your cupboards/ fridge and it comes together perfectly. This included a courgette that needed using up and a bottle of date syrup that I'd bought a while back on a whim but then not been sure what to use it for. Although Chocolate, Courgette sugar free muffins may sound quite worthy I can assure you that they tasted anything but. The date syrup added rich toffee flavours and the coconut oil a fabulous butteriness. Quite simply these were some of the fluffiest, tastiest muffins I've ever made and I've made a lot of vegan muffins in the last 9 years! I'm really glad that I took time to write the recipe down as I will definitely be making these again.

  1. These sound really nice. Do you think the date syrup could be subbed out for brown rice syrup, or maybe maple?

  3. Hi Kelly, yes I'm sure that would work really well. I'm interested to try the recipe with different syrups or maybe Sweet Freedom.

  4. I love courgette in muffins - it's one of those things that sounds like it shouldn't work but absolutely does! Such a good rise on them too.
