Ingredients

1 1/2 cups white rice flour

1 1/2 cups finely ground almonds

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 Tbsp poppy seeds

zest of 1 large lemon

2 cups peeled and finely grated zucchini

3 large eggs

1/2 cup buttermilk

3/4 cup sugar

2 tsp lemon extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-muffin tray with paper or silicone liners - the recipe states 12 muffins, but I ended up with a few more - so be prepared! :)

Combine the dry ingredients in a medium bowl (flour, almonds, baking powder, baking soda, salt, poppy seeds) and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest and the zucchini.

Beat the eggs and sugar with a handheld or standing mixer for 3 minutes, resulting in a pale and creamy mixture.

Add the zucchini/lemon zest mixture, buttermilk, and lemon extract and beat again, until combined.

Working quickly with a spatula, fold in the dry ingredients until they are mixed in. The key is to not overwork the mixture.

Spoon even amounts of batter into each muffin liner, filling each liner to the top. Bake for 30 minutes.

Remove from oven, let cool, and serve.

I ended up with 16 muffins - Each muffin is approx 165.5 calories each with 4.3g of fat (3 points).

Also - I bought slivered almonds from Trader Joe's and just ground them in a food processor. It was much cheaper that way! :)
