Chai Spiced Zucchini Carrot Muffins

These chai spiced zucchini carrot muffins are a great solution for using up produce from your garden, and are also a perfect option for gluten-free and vegan eaters. They are made with 100% plant-based ingredients, gluten-free flour, and are free of refined sugars.

What You Need to Make These Muffins

• Coconut Butter: A beautiful ingredient that adds healthy fat and fiber. It is different from coconut oil, which is 100% saturated fat, as it is made using the entire fruit of the coconut. If you don’t have coconut butter, feel free to substitute with coconut oil, olive oil, or vegan butter.
• Cashew Butter: Raw or roasted natural cashew butter adds a great nuttiness. Feel free to sub with almond butter.
• Unsweetened Applesauce
• Coconut Sugar
• Maple Syrup
• Vanilla Extract
• Apple Cider Vinegar: This additive helps vegan goods rise
• Ground Flax Seed: The egg replacer we are using. Also a great source of fiber and protein.
• Zucchini
• Carrot
• Gluten Free 1:1 Flour
• Almond Flour
• Chai Spice: I find this delicious spice blend at a local shop called All Spice, but it could be substituted for pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice.
• Baking Soda
• Salt
• Walnuts
• Golden Raisins: I adore the subtle sweetness of the golden raisins in this recipe, but you could swap them out for cranberries or regular raisins as well.
