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.
