Gluten-Free Zucchini Muffins

I've been enjoying recipes from Minimalist Baker for a while now.

The love was so great that I even bought her cookbook.

Dana's recipes are often gluten-free and very allergy friendly.

Uncomplicated and quick to put together,

they speak my language.

Here's my version of her 1-bowl zucchini nut muffins.

These are gluten, dairy and processed sugar free,

but you'd never know it from the taste.

You can find the original recipe on page 51 of her cookbook

Everyday Cooking.

These can be kept vegan by replacing the egg

with a flax egg

(1 Tablespoon flax seed meal to

2 1/2 Tablespoons water).

 

These are dense, moist and oh-so delicious.

They are a great addition to the breakfast table,

and handy enough to take on the go.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.
