  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour with baking powder, oregano, and spices.
  • Make a well in the middle and add the eggs and olive oil. Use a whisk to break the egg yolks.

Notes

  1. The mixture is for 12 normal muffins, or 8 large.
The amount of flour depends on how moist the zucchinis are. Also, different gluten-free flours have different absorption abilities.
Grate the zucchini and slice the mushrooms with a food processor, or use a box grater.
Place the grated zucchini into a tea towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Then, weigh and add to the batter.
Gluten-free baked goods are very fragile when warm. Be careful when removing from the muffin tin.
Store the cooled muffins in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to 5 days.
