Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Coconut sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil (melted and slightly cooled)
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1.5 cups Fresh zucchini (grated)
• 0.5 cup Optional: Chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the coconut sugar, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and unsweetened applesauce, and whisk until fully combined.

Step 4

Fold the grated zucchini into the wet ingredients until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

If using chocolate chips or chopped nuts, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
