Time 27m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup packed, shredded zucchini (about 2 small zucchini)
4 oranges, divided
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup of orange juice (from the oranges above)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grate zucchini and set aside.
  • Zest one orange, and juice all the oranges. You'll need 3/4 cup orange juice total, 1/2 cup for the muffin batter, and 1/4 cup for the glaze.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add in vanilla extract and egg. Beat in the orange zest and 1/2 cup of orange juice.
  • Add flour, baking soda and salt, just until combined. Fold in the shredded zucchini.
  • Line a muffin pan with cupcake wrappers or spray with baking spray. Use a large scoop and add batter.
  • Bake in 425 degree oven for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, reduce heat to 350 (without taking muffins out) and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • While the muffins cool, make the glaze with whisking powdered sugar with 1/4 cup orange juice until desired consistency. If it's too thin add a little more powdered sugar. Drizzle over cooled muffins.

Dairy- and Gluten-Free Zucchini Orange Chocolate Chip Muffins image

My favorite muffin recipe is a chocolate chip orange zucchini bread recipe found on Allrecipes! But when I had to cut out dairy and gluten, I had to get creative to get the same satisfaction out of a healthier version. These turned out great! Be sure to add the glaze - it really makes the muffin.
