I was in the process of tweaking a Zucchini Carrot Muffin recipe to my taste when we found out we couldn't have gluten. This recipe is now better that any of the gluten efforts. I try to keep these in the freezer, but have trouble staying ahead of the crowd.

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1 pinch ground ginger

  • 1 pinch ground cloves

  • ½ cup quinoa

  • ½ cup flax seeds

  • ½ cup toasted almonds

  • ¼ cup sunflower seeds

  • 3 eggs, room temperature

  • 1 cup plain yogurt

  • ¾ cup brown sugar

  • ½ cup coconut oil

  • ½ cup agave nectar

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 2 cups shredded zucchini, squeezed dry

Directions

  1. Lightly grease 18 muffin cups.

  2. Sift brown rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves in a bowl.

  3. Place quinoa, flax seeds, almonds, and sunflower seeds in a coffee grinder; process until mixture is finely ground. Add mixture to rice flour mixture.

  4. Beat eggs, yogurt, brown sugar, coconut oil, agave nectar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Stir rice flour mixture into egg mixture until batter is just blended. Fold zucchini, carrot, apple, and raisins into batter; divide evenly between prepared muffin cups. Let batter rest for 30 minutes.
