Yield: 2 dozen muffins
Gluten-free Applesauce Banana Zucchini Muffins are a healthy muffin that tastes great!

Ingredients 

  • 3 cups good quality gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ cup melted coconut oil
  • ¾ cup applesauce
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed (yields about ¾ to 1 cup mashed)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 ½ cups finely shredded zucchini

Instructions 

  • Line 2 cupcake/muffin pans with paper liners or spray well with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (if needed), salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat together melted butter, applesauce, mashed banana, eggs, sugar and brown sugar for 1 minute on low speed. Scrape down sides of bowl and beat on low another 20 seconds.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix on low speed just until mixed.
  • Add shredded zucchini, mix just until combined.
  • Use a large scoop to fill paper lined muffin tin cups 3/4 full.
  • Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until muffins are set and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  • Cool in pan 5 minutes, then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, store in airtight container at room temperature or stack in freezer bag and place in your freezer to enjoy later!

Notes

*If the gluten-free flour blend you use already has xanthan gum or guar gum in it, then omit the xanthan gum called for in this recipe.
*I tested this with Gluten Free Mama's Almond Flour Blend.
If you can have dairy, you can substitute the melted coconut oil for an equal amount of melted butter.
