  • 2 cupscoarsely grated zucchini (unpeeled)
  • 2 cupsdiced banana
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoonsvanilla
  • 1 pintfresh raspberries

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line 12 cups of a standard-sized muffin tin with paper or foil liners. Alternatively, spray the cups with canola cooking spray.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk the chickpea flour together with the nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix thoroughly to break up lumps and evenly distribute spices and leavening agents. Toss in the zucchini and half the banana until evenly distributed and coated with the dry mixture.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk the egg and vanilla together. Pour into the large bowl and gently stir with a wooden spoon until combined and all of the dry mixture is moist. Add the remaining banana, gently stirring until evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups. They should be two thirds filled. Top each muffin with three raspberries, pressing them slightly into the batter, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

Chef's Notes

If you decide you want to add sugar to this recipe, I recommend 2-4 tablespoons.
