Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour or almond meal I used the latter; either works!
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup smooth almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar or packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup grated zucchini squeezed of extra liquid and patted dry
  • Optional: chopped seeds and/or nuts
  • Optional: 1/4 cup raisins roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180C). Line 9 cups in a standard size 12-cup muffin tin, with paper, foil or silicone liners. If you do not need the muffins to be 100% oil-free, spray the cups with nonstick cooking spray..
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flaxseed meal and apple sauce; let stand 5 minutes to thicken. Add the almond butter, stirring vigorously until very well blended.
  • Add the almond flour mixture to the applesauce mixture, stirring until well blended. Stir in the zucchini (and any nuts/seeds, raisins, if desired)
  • Divide batter equally among prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 17 to 21 minutes or until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in tin on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then transfer to the rack to cool.

Notes

Storage: Store the cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, refrigerator for 5 days, or freezer for up to 3 months.
