Gluten Free Lime Zucchini Muffins
These gluten-free zucchini muffins are the perfect snack, lunch box treat or morning tea.
If you want to use up some zucchini or sneak in some veggies, then these muffins are great.
They make a nice change from overly sweet muffins, are quick to prepare, they bake super quickly – perfect for those times when you’re short on time and need a gluten free treat in a flash.
Plus, if you’re short on time, you can skip the glaze and these zucchini bread muffins are still delicious, however I do recommend adding the lime flavored glaze as it’s really yummy!
I like to use the mini muffin tins for these, with the recipe usually making enough for 3 to 4 dozen mini muffins. You could make them in regular muffin tins for bigger appetites.

Notes
The consistency is a littler thicker than normal muffins:
How Should These Muffins Be Stored?
Muffins, particularly gluten free muffins are best eaten the same day. We often reheat muffins the next day, but ultimately if we won’t be using them straight away, I do tend to freeze them.
Therefore, if all of your gluten free zucchini muffins won’t be used immediately, it’s best to make sure they are completely cool and then store straight away in an airtight container to keep them as fresh as possible.
