With spelt flour, these zucchini applesauce muffins are a full-on treat with bittersweet chocolate in the batter and even sprinkled on top.
I discovered a couple forgotten zucchinis buried deep in the bottom of a refrigerator drawer.
A couple weeks ago they were destined for the grill, but they were a bit wrinkly and becoming borderline unusable.
Past their prime, I figured the best way to put them to use was to bake.
After a great debate over doing a quickbread or something else, I settled on zucchini applesauce muffins.
I always joke that muffins are just rustic little cakes that often have a faux healthy vibe.
Don’t be fooled by the applesauce! It added a subtle apple flavor to the muffins, but it didn’t replace another ingredient as it sometimes does in certain recipes.
Nope, these muffins are a full-on treat with chopped bittersweet chocolate folded into the batter and even sprinkled on top.
Bonus: they do have spelt flour!
