Secret Chocolate Lunchbox Muffins

Secret Chocolate Lunchbox Muffins

Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 12 muffins

Ingredients

  • 50 g cocoa powder
  • 150 g olive oil
  • 200 g sugar
  • 1 can cannellini beans 400g / 14oz
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract optional
  • 4 eggs
  • 250 g grated zucchini or carrot

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180C (350F). Line a 12 hole muffin pan with papers.

  2. Place cocoa powder, oil, sugar, drained beans, baking powder, vanilla and eggs in a bowl or large jug. Puree with a stick blender until smooth (or use a food processor). Or you could just mash with a fork for a more chunky version.
  3. Divide the grated veg between the muffin papers. Pour over the chocolate batter and use a knife to stir each one so the veg are combined with the chocolate.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes or until the muffins feel springy to the touch and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out without any gooey mixture on it.
  5. Cool for a few minutes in the tin then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
