Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup zucchini grated and then squeezed free of excess liquid
  • 1 cup creamy no salt almond butter (you can substitute any nut butter, but I love the sweet taste of the almond butter)
  • 1/4 cup brown rice syrup you can use maple syrup as a replacement
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds you can leave these out if you don't have them, but your muffins will be a little stickier
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries or other preferred dried fruit
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and prepare a regular sized muffin tin (either with muffin liners or by spraying the tin with cooking spray). Add all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl and stir until combined. Fill your muffin tin with the mixture. (I filled each compartment almost all the way full and got 9 muffins). Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are light brown. Take them out of the oven and let the tray and muffins cool completely. Use a butter knife to gently take the muffins out of the tin and cool them completely before storing.
  2. I personally had no problem with sticking of the muffins, but do make sure they are completely cool before taking out of the tin. Also, they will stay a little sticky on top, so they are best stored in the fridge or freezer.
  3. Note to parents - this recipe has a few ingredients that are not recommended for kids under one. You would want to avoid the egg whites and honey for these youngsters.
