It is September and I just picked another 3 cups of fresh strawberries! I’ve tried this recipe with both fresh and frozen and it is definitely easier to use fresh (easier to cut up), but if you use frozen, slightly defrost them first and they will be easier to cut into little pieces.
Strawberry-Zucchini Muffins
Ingredients:
1 cup shredded zucchini
8 eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (or oil)
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup strawberries, cut into small pieces, fresh or frozen
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine zucchini, eggs, applesauce (or oil), honey and vanilla in a large bowl. Mix well.
3. Add salt, coconut flour, and baking soda to wet ingredients. Mix until there are no coconut flour lumps.
4. Gently fold in strawberry pieces.
5. Fill muffin cups 3/4 of the way full (or more).
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-28 minutes for regular sized muffins and 15-18 minutes for mini muffins.
*Makes 12 regular muffins and 6-10 mini muffins depending on how full you fill them.

I just made it…. The flavor is great but the texture is more like a sufflé . Is this Normal??? In the picture they look like a “traditional” cupcake made with wheat flour….

Made these today and they turned out very wet. My first time using coconut flour. Should they be wet/very moist? Your picture doesn’t look that way. I was hoping for a more typical muffin consistency.

Just made these and we loved them! I used coconut oil in place of apple sauce so they’re probably not as sweet as they would be with applesauce but they were great. My 2 and 4 year old both ate 2. I think the 8 eggs is a normal amount for that much coconut flour. Thats why I love recipes that used coconut flour, they’re always a more nutritionally balanced

Is there a typo in the recipe? Does it really call for 8 eggs? I tried it and it was a total fail. The picture looks so promising though.

No, I don’t think it is a typo. I’m sorry they didn’t turn out for you. It has been quite a while since I made them so my brain is a bit foggy on them. I am pretty sure I did use 8 though.
