CHUNKY MONKEY MUFFINS 🙊🍌🍫 but using chickpeas and zucchini for a healthy twist!

These were a big hit this week, and I love a tasty snack for the kids (and myself!) that has an added boost of protein and veggies. Chickpea flour so versatile and I love it for these muffins - its nutty flavour makes it great for baking, and it's also a great source of fibre and protein. Zucchini is my favourite add in when trying to boost veggie content as its high in antioxidants and a great boost for digestion.

These muffins are the perfect meal prep for an on the go snack or even a school lunchbox.
