Most flavourful Chai-Spiced Cranberry Zucchini Muffins. I can’t tell you how delicious these gluten-free muffins are. They are moist and light, flavoured with chai spices, and the cranberries add a little sourness making them so good! I used olive oil for fats and zucchini to keep them moist. You can’t tell that they are made with zucchini, because all you taste is moist, chai flavoured muffins with a zing from the cranberries. This cranberry zucchini muffin recipe is definitely on the healthier side. The best part, kids love them too! I have also included a gluten-free vegan option.
