Recipe: Gluten Free Zucchini Carrot Parmesan Muffins
This is my favourite time at the farmers markets and we are so lucky in Calgary to have many many markets to choose from. I am blessed to live in a province that grows a ton of veggies and we are close enough to BC to get all their bounty of fruit.
It is the time of year when eating seasonally is the best! I love it until thanksgiving here in October and maybe that is why thanksgiving is one of my favourite holidays for I have so much local produce available to me.
Recently I picked up a giant zucchini so you, my followers will be lucky enough to get a ton of new gluten free zucchini recipes coming. Zucchini crackers, grilled zucchini rolled lasagna, chocolate zucchini bread and this recipe- Zucchini Carrot Parmesan Muffins.
These muffins would be a great substitute for a sandwich in a kids lunch. It is a savoury muffin yet tastes sweet with the shredded carrot in it.
I used Bob’s Red Mill gluten free flour 1 to 1 and I find it is available most anywhere. It is a nice light gluten free flour that I find works well in baking.
Here’s the recipe!
