Zucchini & Quinoa Muffins

07/02/2016 By Caralee 8 Comments

Zucchini & Quinoa MuffinsIt has been a while since I have added a recipe to my website…. this is because I have been flat out busy finishing my second book! Yes, you heard right another recipe book! This book is amazing and it is full of gluten, dairy and refined sugar free recipes that I know you are going to love!

To be honest I have been so busy with the book, Christmas, school holidays, travel and daily life that cooking for Real Food Pledge has taken a back seat. But I am hoping now that the book is off my hands and the children are all back to their routines that I will have more time in the kitchen again. After all I feel most at home and happiest in the kitchen cooking up a storm!

This weekend I whipped up this yummy new recipe which is perfect for lunches or snacks. These savoury muffins can be stored in the freezer so that you can take them to work or school. These muffins are delicious as well as being gluten and dairy free!

    Hi Caralee

    I have just discovered you and your AMAZING recipes. I have just purchased your 2nd book after the 1st one arrived yesterday… anyway, in this recipe could I use LSA instead of the almond meal?

    Cheers and thanks

      Hi Jaemyn

      Yes of course. I think that broccoli or pumpkin could both be great options.

      Enjoy, Caralee x
