Ingredients
- Spray for cooking
- 1 ½ cups of flour made from almonds
- 1 cup of chocolate chips that are both dairy-free and gluten-free
- ¼ cup of flour from coconuts
- ¾ teaspoon of baking soda
- ½ teaspoon of salt from the sea
- ½ teaspoon of cinnamon in powder form
- ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg in powder form
- 3 eggs
- ⅓ cup of brown sugar
- ¼ cup of oil from almonds
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon of orange zest that has been grated
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of zucchini that has been shredded and dried
- 1 tablespoon of almond milk without sweetening (Optional)
- Glaze:
- 1 ⅓ cups of confectioners' sugar that is gluten-free, sifted
- ¼ cup of orange juice that is freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon of orange zest that has been grated
Step 1
Begin by preheating the oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lovingly preparing a muffin tin with a light mist of cooking spray to ensure easy release later on.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the delightful mix of almond flour, chocolate chips, coconut flour, baking soda, a pinch of salt, a hint of cinnamon, and a sprinkle of nutmeg for a flavorful burst of joy.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to whisk the eggs until they are fluffy and full of life. Into this bowl, add the brown sugar, almond oil, maple syrup, a touch of fresh orange zest, and a dash of vanilla extract, blending everything together into a harmonious mixture. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and then incorporate the almond flour mixture, ensuring a perfect union of flavors. If the batter seems a bit thick, don't hesitate to add a splash of almond milk to achieve the ideal consistency.
Step 4
Scoop this wondrous batter into the awaiting muffin cups, filling them with anticipation of the delicious transformation to come.
Step 5
Allow the muffins to bake in the preheated oven, where they will slowly rise and turn golden brown, usually taking around 20 to 22 minutes. Once a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean, it's time to let them rest for a brief 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to settle and mingle.
Step 6
While the muffins cool slightly, prepare a luscious glaze by whisking together confectioners' sugar, freshly squeezed orange juice, and a touch of orange zest until the mixture is smooth and irresistible. Drizzle this heavenly glaze over the muffins, watching as it cascades down the sides, adding a touch of sweetness to each delightful bite. Let the glazed muffins rest for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to fully cool and set, ready to be enjoyed with a cup of tea or shared with loved ones.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Preserve the freshness of your zucchinis by storing them in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. Make sure to wrap them in a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
- 2. Keep your chocolate chips in an airtight container to prevent them from melting or getting stale. For extra flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips for a richer taste.
