The authority on gluten-free living.

Avocado Coconut Zucchini Muffins

Avocado Coconut Zucchini Muffins

By using avocados instead of butter, you’re adding nearly 20 vitamins and minerals to your cookies and dramatically reducing the amount of saturated fat—almost by 75 percent! And, because avocados have a high water content, the addition of them to recipes helps ensure that gluten-free baked goods are always soft and chewy instead of dry and crumbly!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup mashed avocado (about 2 avocados)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini, drained
  • 1 cup shredded coconut flakes

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. In the bowl of a standing mixer, beat avocado until smooth and creamy. Add in the olive oil and sugar and mix until light and fluffy.
  4. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add in the vanilla extract and mix well. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
  5. Add in the grated zucchini and coconut flakes and mix until well combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly amongst the prepared muffin pan cups and bake for 25 to 28 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
