🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 1.5 cups Zucchini, grated
• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray it lightly with non-stick cooking spray.

2. Grate the zucchini and use a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to squeeze out excess moisture. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until well combined.

5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Don't overmix.

6. Gently fold in the grated zucchini. If using walnuts or chocolate chips, fold them in now as well.

7. Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

9. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
