Healthy Almond Butter Zucchini Muffins

1 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp water

2.5 cups gluten free flour (I used Bob’s Redmill Gluten Free Flour)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 TBSP cardamon or cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup grated zucchini
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
almond butter (I like to use salted almond butter because it brings out the sweetness of the muffins)

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.

Combine water and chia seeds then stir and set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.

In another bowl, add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom, and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.

Next combine zucchini, apple sauce, almond milk, and vanilla and stir to combine. Add soaked chia seeds and mix well.

Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the wet mixture and stir. Slowly add the remaining two thirds until completely combined. (Doing it in 2-3 stages makes it easier to mix — less messy– and it also helps the ingredients get evenly incorporated.)

Fill a non-stick muffin pan about 3/4 of the way full and bake for about 13-14 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and tops are lightly browned.

Let cool slightly then top with almond butter before serving.

Tips:

1. Frost with almond butter before serving. Don’t do them all at once because the almond butter hardens if it sits for a long time. Store without almond butter and then add before eating

2. Store in an air-tight container at room temperature then microwave for about 10 seconds before serving to bring them back to life. Makes SUCH big difference!

3. After removing from the oven, let cool for 2-3 minutes and then use a butterknife around each muffin to loosen from the muffin tin. Remove each muffin and allow to cool on a cooling rack or plate (this prevents sticking!)

4. Ripe banana slices and fresh strawberries are SO GOOD on these muffins. Try this combo if you have those on hand

5. Snap a pic before eating so I can see your creations! It seriously makes my day! Tag me in a photo on Instagram: nikkivvegan (2 v’s on Instagram)
