I've been making zucchini muffins for years now - but the gluten-free version just never would come out quite right, until now! In my opinion, zucchini muffins should be a bit lighter in texture and flavor than zucchini bread. These muffins have just the right texture with a hint of cinnamon, cloves and allspice to give an extra edge without seeming overwhelming. A perfect summer treat for all those in-season zucchini's! Enjoy!
Preheat oven to 350F. Line muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients:
1 1/4 cup Kristin's Gluten-Free Flour Mix
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 - 3/4 tsp cinnamon
pinch cloves (optional)
pinch allspice (optional)
Add in, and mix just until combined:
1 1/2 cup grated zucchini (~1 medium zucchini)
2 Tbsp melted butter
Zucchini muffins, fresh from the oven!

OMG!! BEAUTIFUL! They make me want to bake IMMEDIATELY!!!! Thank you SO MUCH!
ReplyDeleteK- I made these subbing 1/3 of the zucchini for mushy banana (previously frozen), taking out some sugar and "subbing" chocolate chips. I also added some GF oats and they are even popular with my "picky kid" (he literally whined when he found out I was baking with zucchini because he said I was making it healthy). Perfect texture -Lily
ReplyDeleteLily - I'm so glad you all enjoyed them. Those sound like great substitutions. Thank you for sharing them. We love throwing GF oats into our muffins, too. I'll have to give the banana a try sometime - I have both in the freezer and I'm always looking for ways to cut out the sugar, especially in snack foods. :)
