Zucchini Muffins (Gluten Free)

This is my Granny's recipe for zucchini bread
that I have adapted to be gluten free.

The taste of her zucchini bread brings back memories of summers helping Granny in the kitchen and being rewarded with this warm, moist and sweet treat. I think her secret was the pineapple.

Wonderful for breakfast or snacking.

1 1/2 cups Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Mix
(I used Better Batter which contains Xanthin Gum
- if yours doesn't, add 1/4 tsp.)

1/2 cup Sugar

1 tsp Baking Soda

1/2 tsp Baking Powder

1/4 tsp Salt

1 tsp Cinnamon

1/4 cup Walnuts, chopped

2 Eggs

1/2 cup Canola Oil

1 tsp Vanilla

1 cup Zucchini, grated

1 (8 oz) can Crushed Pineapple, undrained

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, and vanilla until creamy.

Stir in the zucchini and pineapple and blend well.

Add the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.

Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the compartments of a lightly oiled muffin pan. I use a small scoop to portion out the batter.

Bake for 25-30 minutes.  Cool for 10 minutes in the pan.

Makes 2 dozen muffins.
