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.
