Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Eggs
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups Shredded Zucchini (Grated, excess moisture squeezed out)
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts or Pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and chopped nuts (if using).

  6. 6

    Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.

  7. 7

    Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Notes

  • Squeeze out excess moisture from the shredded zucchini to prevent soggy muffins. You can do this by placing the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeezing gently.
  • For a sweeter muffin, add chocolate chips or a streusel topping before baking.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
