Ingredients
Paleo muffins from this site: https://girlgoneprimal.blogspot.ca/2010/06/recipe-chocolate-zucchini-muffins.html
Method:
1. Preheat oven to moderate - around 175 deg C.
2. Line and grease a muffin tray
3. Separate eggs, placing yolks in a large mixing bowl, and whites in a medium bowl for whipping. Whip whites until fluffy.
3. In the large bowl, combine zucchini, egg yolks, spices, and oil.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa and baking powder. Add flour mixture to zucchini mixture, and stir until combined.
5. Fold egg whites into batter carefully, then pour everything into prepared pans.
6. Sprinkle with nuts/flakes, and bake for at around 50 minutes, watching carefully for burning. The mixture's density means that it will cook quite slowly, but if you see burning happening before the muffins bounce back when prodded with a finger, turn the heat down to 100 deg C and allow the centre to cook slowly.
Serve warm or cold with cream, fruit, and maple syrup if desired. I enjoy them alone, although coconut flour can be quite drying in the mouth.
