DAIRY- AND GLUTEN-FREE ZUCCHINI ORANGE CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS
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.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh zucchini. If you don't have fresh zucchini on hand, you can use frozen zucchini that has been thawed and drained.
- Grate the zucchini finely. This will help it to blend into the batter more easily.
- Be sure to measure the flour correctly. Too much flour can make the muffins dry and dense.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the muffins may overflow.
- Bake the muffins at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. If you bake them for too long, they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
