  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup almond flour or oat flour (for topping and batter)
  • 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

  1. Grate the zucchini and potato using a box grater.
  2. 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

  1. 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

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, olive oil, and dairy-free milk until well combined.
  2. Add the squeezed zucchini and potato to the wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  1. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients.
  2. Stir until a thick, slightly lumpy batter forms. Do not overmix.

Step 5: Prepare the Muffin Topping

  1. 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

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with oil.
  2. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling them about ¾ full.
  3. Sprinkle the almond or oat flour topping over each muffin.

Step 7: Bake the Muffins

  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely
