Ingredients:
- 80 grams coconut oil
- 200 grams zucchini

- 4 tablespoons good quality honey
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon & ginger

- Pinch of salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 4 egg whites
Method:

- Melt the coconut oil in a saucepan, add the sweetener and spices. Set aside to infuse.
- Place the flours, desiccated coconut, salt and baking powder into a blender. Pulse to combine the dry ingredients.
- Next add the banana & zucchini. Blend until completely incorporated into one batter.
- Finally add the coconut oil mixture into the blend and combine.
- Beat the eggs in a separate bowl until the whites are softly peaking.
- Next carefully combine the batter with the eggs whites by carefully folding them through.
- Spoon the mixture into your prepared cases.
- Cut up thin slices of extra banana and place on-top of each muffin.
- Cook in your preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and gently brush each individual muffin with a little more honey whilst they are warm. The honey will seep through and give the muffins a delicious sweet yet healthy flavour to them!
- Enjoy!
