- ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried thyme or oregano
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup grated zucchini (squeezed to remove excess water)
- 1 cup grated potato (squeezed to remove excess water)
- 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan option)
- ¼ cup olive oil or melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup dairy-free milk (like almond or oat milk)
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional, for a cheesy flavor)
Topping:
- 2 tbsp almond flour or oat flour
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
- Grate the zucchini and potato using a box grater.
- Place the grated vegetables in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as possible. This ensures the muffins don’t become soggy.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour or oat flour, gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and thyme or oregano.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, olive oil, and dairy-free milk until well combined.
- Add the squeezed zucchini and potato to the wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Stir until a thick, slightly lumpy batter forms. Do not overmix.
Step 5: Prepare the Muffin Topping
- In a small bowl, mix almond flour or oat flour with olive oil and a pinch of salt. This will create a light, crumbly topping.
Step 6: Fill the Muffin Tin
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with oil.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling them about ¾ full.
- Sprinkle the almond or oat flour topping over each muffin.
Step 7: Bake the Muffins
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely
