GLUTEN-FREE ZUCCHINI CARROT MUFFINS



Gluten-Free Zucchini Carrot Muffins image

I was in the process of tweaking a Zucchini Carrot Muffin recipe to my taste when we found out we couldn't have gluten. This recipe is now better that any of the gluten efforts. I try to keep these in the freezer, but have trouble staying ahead of the crowd.
