These spiced zucchini and carrot muffins are grain-free, made from almond flour, and naturally sweetened with maple syrup. With so much flavor, you won't even notice the veggies!

Ingredients:
1 medium zucchini, grated
1 medium carrot, coarsely grated
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons of melted butter
3 tablespoons of maple syrup
Pinch of salt
1 cup of almond flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon of ground nutmeg
Basil leaves, forgarnish (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, use a spatula to mix together the zucchini, carrot, egg, butter, and maple syrup.
In a separate bowl, mix together the salt, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Gently incorporate all the ingredients until well combined, but do not over-mix.
Pour the mixture into muffin molds and bake for about 20 minutes (until golden brown on top). Let them cool down, then remove from the molds.
