zucchini overload
This is an old recipe from gfcfkids that we really like. I searched back and found the one from the original person. They are really good and taste like chocolate cupcakes. They freeze really nice. I always double the batch. I tried tripling it once but it didn't fit in my mixer...what a mess! I have made mini muffins and mini loaves out of the recipe too.

I always make sure to sift the dry ingredients 6-8 times together, it seems to take away a little of the gritty taste. When I say GFCF Flour, I took from Lisa Lewis book and just put 2 cups white rice f lour, 2/3 cup potato starch flour, and 1/3 cup tapioca starch and sift them together in a big bowl and then measure from that.....I'm not sure if this is how you are supposed to do it, but it works so..... Also I used a big stand mixer, but I'm sure a normal mixer is fine too.....the recipe in her book says a Food processor, but I don't have one of those. 1 medium zucchini 2 eggs 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup oil 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla 1 1/4 cups GFCF Flour 1/4 cup cocoa 1 1/2 teaspoons xanthum gum 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda Shred the zucchini. Add eggs, sugar, zucchini, oil and vanilla. Mix well. (I mixed it for probably 1-2 minutes on the 3rd speed of my mixer which probably is medium speed for a normal one). Sift the dry ingredients together several times till they are mixed good. Add the dry ingredients to the mixer bowl and mix for about 2 minutes. Pour into 12 muffin cups and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. That's it, hope you enjoy them as much as we have. I froze the ones that were leftover and just take one out and let it thaw on the counter when we want one. Judy
