Dairy- and Gluten-Free Zucchini Orange Chocolate Chip Muffins image

My favorite muffin recipe is a chocolate chip orange zucchini bread recipe found on Allrecipes! But when I had to cut out dairy and gluten, I had to get creative to get the same satisfaction out of a healthier version. These turned out great! Be sure to add the glaze - it really makes the muffin.

GLUTEN FREE CHOCOLATE CHIP NUT MUFFINS



Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Nut Muffins image

This is a recipe that my 9 year old daughter made up one day for my mother who has Celiac disease. She went down to my mom's kitchen and just started kinda playing in the kitchen. She just started adding things into the bowl without any recipe and was about to pour it into muffin cups when she decided she should ask for permission and help. I came down and she told me what she'd put in the mixing bowl, and it all sounded good except she hadn't added any xantham gum, which I suggested and explained why. We added the xantham gum, baked it up, and it was a great success with her grandma and our friend Kenny who also can't have wheat. Today, she's re-created it and we decided to write it down to share. Hope you enjoy it!

Tips:

  • Use almond flour and coconut flour: These gluten-free flours are a great alternative to wheat flour and provide a delicious, moist texture to the muffins.
  • Add sweetness with honey or maple syrup: These natural sweeteners add a touch of sweetness without refined sugar.
  • Use unsweetened almond milk: This plant-based milk adds moisture and richness to the muffins while keeping them dairy-free.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips: The better the chocolate chips, the better the muffins will taste. Choose a dark or semi-sweet chocolate chip for a richer flavor.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly and prevent it from melting.
