Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup oil (like canola or melted coconut oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (squeeze out excess moisture)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped nuts, if using. Mix briefly.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Squeeze the grated zucchini very well to remove extra water; this prevents soggy muffins.
  • If your GF blend does not contain xanthan gum, add 1/2 teaspoon.
  • Feel free to substitute almond flour for half of the GF blend for a slightly different texture.
  • These muffins freeze well for later enjoyment.
