Notes
- When it comes to baking with zucchini, after grating it, let it sit in a strainer for a few minutes pressing down every so often. This helps the water come out and not get into the muffins.
- All gluten-free flour blends have a different makeup. This almond zucchini muffin recipe was made with Cloud 9 Flour Other flour blends may alter the texture slightly.
- The muffins are not overly fluffy but instead, they have a chewy, dense texture.
- Top the gluten-free muffins with chopped almonds for texture and sprinkled cinnamon if you like.
- Know that if you're making the muffins for toddlers, it's best to omit the chopped almonds.
