Grain Free Zucchini Muffins--Grain Free, Dairy Free

The quest is on for more delicious grain free, dairy free recipes.*****  I stumbled upon
Organic Thrifty and she has some great ones that I can use.  The recipes that aren't grain free, dairy free are made with real food, and like her site name, are thrifty.  Inexpensive is always a plus in my book.


For Griffin I made zucchini-spice muffins, which is an alternative she provides for the original recipe, blueberry muffins.  I have some carrots that need to be used or tossed, so I also added shredded carrots.  The other kids aren't keen on muffins and sometimes a dose of chocolate makes them more appealing.  I doubled the recipe and split it in half.  I left the twins muffin mixture as is and to the big boys' muffin mixture I added 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, and additional honey.  For the chocolate muffins I made both muffin tops and normal size muffins.


****One of my twins, Griffin, has food allergies to gluten, dairy, and chocolate.  He eats grain free in an attempt to heal his little tummy.  Most of the time I follow the guidelines for the GAPS Diet.
