Dairy- and Gluten-Free Zucchini Orange Chocolate Chip Muffins image

My favorite muffin recipe is a chocolate chip orange zucchini bread recipe found on Allrecipes! But when I had to cut out dairy and gluten, I had to get creative to get the same satisfaction out of a healthier version. These turned out great! Be sure to add the glaze - it really makes the muffin.

GLUTEN-FREE ZUCCHINI BREAD (OR MUFFINS)



Gluten-Free Zucchini Bread (or Muffins) image

Got this recipe from someone else but made some changes to it, to make it not taste gluten-free. My family loves bread and my husband is always looking for something that taste 'normal'. So this is as close as it gets for muffins. They are actually really good. The extra applesauce really makes it moist and not too dry! The batter will look runny but when you take them out of the oven they will be nice and soft. I can't keep them long, they go so fast!

Tips:

  • Prep your zucchini: Wash and grate your zucchini beforehand to save time. You can also use a food processor to make quick work of this task.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can lead to dense, tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Use ripe bananas: Ripe bananas add sweetness and moisture to the muffins. If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can microwave them for a few seconds to soften them up.
  • Add some spices: A pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger can add a warm, autumnal flavor to the muffins.
  • Don't overbake the muffins: Overbaking can dry out the muffins. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

These gluten-free zucchini muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They're packed with zucchini, bananas, and nuts, and they're naturally sweetened with maple syrup. They're also gluten-free, dairy-free, and egg-free, making them a great option for people with food allergies or sensitivities. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious muffin recipe, give these gluten-free zucchini muffins a try!
