Healthy Zucchini Muffins
Description
The Healthy Zucchini Muffins recipe balances multiple gluten-free flours—almond, tapioca, and coconut—for structure and moisture retention. Spices like cinnamon and nutmeg add warmth and depth of flavor. Wet ingredients include eggs, applesauce for natural sweetness and moisture, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar to activate leavening.
Grated zucchini is firmly squeezed to remove excess water, preventing soggy batter. Once mixed, batter is portioned into muffin cups and baked until set. The result is a tender, subtly spiced muffin with flecks of zucchini providing moisture and texture.
These muffins make a wholesome snack or breakfast option, combining vegetable nutrition with natural sweeteners and gluten-free grains.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup tapioca flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 egg
- ½ cup applesauce
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 ½ cup zucchini grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a 12-serving muffin tin with muffin cups. Then add all of the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir until combined.
- In a separate bowl add the eggs, applesauce, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar and whisk together. Squeeze the grated zucchini (really firmly) in a nut milk bag or kitchen towel to remove the excess water. Then add the grated zucchini to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until the batter is well mixed. Evenly divide the batter between the muffin cups.
- Bake the zucchini muffins for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
- Use a nut milk bag or clean kitchen towel to squeeze excess water from grated zucchini to avoid wet batter.
