Almond Zucchini Muffins

It must be the Nutritionist in me, but I love recipes where you can sneakily get away with adding extra veggies without really knowing. These Almond Zucchini Muffins are just that. They are loaded with healthy fats and is naturally sweetened with real fruit and just a bit of coconut sugar (which has a lower GI than cane sugar). Enjoy!
