Gluten-Free Zucchini Muffins

Why you'll love this recipe!

Healthy - This delicious muffin recipe is made with only a few wholesome ingredients. It's also lower in sugar, refined sugar free, and has a full cup of fresh zucchini! Gluten-Free - I used almond flour which is one of my favorite gluten-free flours to bake with! It creates a super fluffy texture in baked goods, and it is easy to work with. Dairy-Free - Thanks to the added moisture from the shredded zucchini, this recipe does not require any butter, milk, or oil! (Which makes them naturally dairy-free.)

Helpful Tips

Use parchment paper liners or silicone muffin liners! They will easily peel off without sticking. – Let the muffins set for at least 30 minutes before enjoying. – Squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini with a cheese cloth or dish towel. – Do not pack the grated zucchini into the measuring cup. After you squeeze out the moisture, use your hands to "fluff it" and add it into the cup until it reaches the top.
