Brown Sugar Spice Zucchini Muffins recipe by Barefeet In The Kitchen

Muffins are a much loved breakfast treat in our home. I usually have at least a few different varieties in the freezer for an easy addition to our breakfasts.

I’ve always loved zucchini muffins, but these are pretty awesome. Or try them with chocolate, so good.

    adding this recipe to my favourites – I made it once as muffins and they were delightful. made it today in a 9 inch square pan. it took about 35 minutes. it smells so good! I did add about a half tsp cardamom and compensated by removing a bit of cinnamon from the recipe. & my zucchini was shredded (2 cups fresh) and the thawed, and I drained off much of the liquid before adding it as my last ingredient when the mixture was almost mixed! just like any quickbread or cake it’s important not to over mix. looking forward to making this again soon.5 stars

    I never post comments or feed back on recipes but this one deserves it! I have been a professional baker for years and with a recent medical diagnosis for my daughter, have started gluten free baking trials. It’s a whole different ballgame! I converted this recipe using 1 c. Brown rice flour, 1/2 c. Potato starch and 1/4 c. Tapioca starch. I also added 1/2 t. Of xantham gum. They are PERFECT! They stay moist and tender without being crumbly. You absolutely cannot tell they are GF! Thank you for the great GF recipes!!5 stars
