Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups almond flour/ almond meal
  • 3/4 + 1/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 stick unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup zucchini grated
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/3 cup walnuts coarsely chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease muffin cups. Alternately, use silicone muffin molds.
  • Wrap grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze to extract all of the liquid from the grated zucchini.
  • Combine almond flour, all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cardamom in a large bowl.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • In a small bowl, beat eggs, yogurt and almond extract. Add to butter and mix well.
  • Add flour mixture a little at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Using a rubber spatula, fold in zucchini and nuts.
  • Divide batter evenly among 12 muffin cups.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool and remove from muffin tin.

Notes

Remember to squeeze out all the liquid from the grated zucchini. Otherwise the batter will be too wet and your muffins will be too loose.
