These muffins are a great way use the bounty of zucchini that’s available in the summer! They have just the right amount of sweetness without the “sugar overload” that often comes along with most muffin recipes.

I have lots of different types of flour left over from experimenting with gluten free sourdough. One of them is sorghum, so I decided to try a recipe with it. If you don’t have sorghum on hand, any gluten free flour mix, or almond flour should work as a substitute.

If you decide to use almond flour, I recommend using tapioca flour instead of the arrowroot flour. Keep in mind, if you use cacao powder these will be a tad less sweet 🙂
