Gluten-Free Blueberry Zucchini Muffins | Lemons and Basil

These Gluten-Free Blueberry Zucchini Muffins are made with garbanzo bean flour (or chickpea flour – same thing) and so delightful! Naturally sweetened with honey, incredibly moist from the zucchini, and bursting with fresh blueberries, they’re perfect for Spring!

Honestly, these muffins are my first experiment with garbanzo bean flour. I’ve wanted to try baking with it for a while and just haven’t. Now that I finally did, I just might be hooked!

The flour lends itself to sort of a “nutty” flavor, which beautifully complements the blueberries in these muffins. I literally think my kids and I ate half the pan within an hour of pulling them from the oven. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ But you know, I don’t even feel bad about it. Each muffin is packed with 4 grams of protein and 3 grams fiber. They’re only 124 calories each and contain zero added sugar. And that doesn’t even get in to the vitamins and minerals they boast. πŸ™ŒπŸ»

If you’re looking for a muffin to add to your breakfast routine, or just want a tasty healthy snack – try these Gluten-Free Blueberry Zucchini Muffins!
