These soft, gluten free peanut butter zucchini muffins are loaded with extra flavor thanks to the nut butter.
Truthfully I am not the biggest fan of coming up with gluten free baking recipes, as the combination of almond flour/coconut flour and the lack of baking powder can be a bit of a crapshoot at times. That being said when a recipe comes out of the oven a success I can usually be found doing a little happy dance around my kitchen.
These Zucchini and Peanut Butter Muffins are definitely a success. I’m a big fan of sweet recipes that allow you to sneak extra veggies into your diet (like lemon cream) and although there are bits of shredded zucchini in each bite, these muffins are nothing but sweet deliciousness.
If you have a peanut allergy, the peanut butter can easily be substituted for another nut butter of choice such as almond, cashew or hazelnut.
