Dairy- and Gluten-Free Zucchini Orange Chocolate Chip Muffins

Dairy- and Gluten-Free Zucchini Orange Chocolate Chip Muffins

My favorite muffin recipe is a chocolate chip orange zucchini bread recipe found on @site_name! 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.

Ingredients

Glaze

  • 1 1/3 cups gluten-free confectioners' sugar, sifted
  • ¼ cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • cooking spray
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 1 cup dairy-free and gluten-free chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup almond oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini, patted dry
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk (Optional)

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray.

Step 2
Mix almond flour, chocolate chips, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a small bowl.

Step 3
Beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and frothy. Add brown sugar, almond oil, maple syrup, 1 teaspoon orange zest, and vanilla extract; mix well. Stir in zucchini. Fold in almond flour mixture until well blended. Thin batter with almond milk if it appears too thick.

Step 4
Divide batter among prepared muffin cups.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 6
Combine confectioners' sugar, orange juice, and 1 teaspoon orange zest in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer on high speed until glaze is smooth. Spoon glaze over muffins. Let stand for 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Cook’s Note:

This is a great recipe to individually wrap and freeze.
