How to Make Gluten Free Zucchini Carrot Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 18-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together: 1 ½ cups brown rice flour, ½ cup tapioca starch, ½ cup potato starch, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon guar gum, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon nutmeg.
  3. In a food processor or high-powered blender, finely grind: ½ cup quinoa, ¼ cup flax seeds, ¼ cup sunflower seeds, ¼ cup pumpkin seeds, ¼ cup slivered almonds.
  4. Add the ground seed and nut mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together: 2 large eggs, ½ cup vegetable oil, ½ cup plain yogurt, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in: 1 cup grated zucchini, 1 cup grated carrots, 1 medium apple (grated), ½ cup raisins.
  8. Fill muffin cups about ¾ full. Let stand for 15 minutes.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown.
  10. Let cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
