Gluten Free Zucchini Muffins

These Gluten Free Zucchini Muffins are flourless, oil-free and spectacularly moist and delicious!  Made with wholesome ingredients for a perfect healthy snack.

I realized this week that I haven’t made a muffin in a long time!  I have also realized I seem to go in spurts with some of my eating habits.  There was a time I was making muffins every week.   I don’t know if I should call it cravings or obsessions.  For months, no muffins at all.

All I know is this week I needed a muffin.  These gluten free zucchini muffins showed up on My Fitness Pal app blog a while ago, so I decided to give them a try.

GLUTEN FREE ZUCCHINI MUFFINS

First of all, I was shocked that that there was absolutely no flour of any kind used in this recipe.  And I will say I was a little skeptical.

Then I was elated! Because they are so unbelievably moist and delicious.  A great little snack to have along with some fruit and/or yogurt.

I added a few mini chocolate chips to this batch too.  It’s a great thing when you can sneak a little veggie into a muffin for your kids too.  No one had a clue!

Ingredients

• 1 cup zucchini grated
• 1 cup creamy almond butter
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 Tablespoons dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 375°F
2. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
3. In a medium sized bowl, add all the ingredients, except the chocolate chips.
4. Stir until well combined.
5. Then gently stir in the chocolate chips.
6. Fill each muffin cavity about ¾ full with the mixture.
7. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow muffins to cool for 5-10 minutes.
9. Remove from muffin tin and let cool completely on a wire rack.
10. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I always like to warm them for a few seconds in the microwave before eating. (It's my thing.) These muffins freeze great as well.
11. Note: If muffins stick to tins, use a butter knife and run it along the sides of each muffin to help remove them easier.

CAN YOU FREEZE ZUCCHINI MUFFINS?

Yes! These muffins freeze well.  I wrap each one individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag for up to 4 months. <–  if they would ever make it that long!
