Grain Free Zucchini Coconut Muffins

 Another muffin variation, fitting to the season. If you grow zucchinis, you are well aware of this phenomenon: gargantuan zucchinis that appear in your garden virtually overnight. The tiny little zucchinis that you spy one day take on epic proportions while you sleep. You become the zucchini fairy of your neighborhood  gracing your neighbours front porches with your excess zucchini, and run before they can tell you “NO MORE!”
Experience has FINALLY taught me to only grow 2 plants, and to keep an eagle eye on them daily. When they are nice and tiny,(like the yellow one) they make an awesome salad when sliced paper thin with a mandolin  and marinated with a bit of sea salt. They also make tasty zucchini chips in the dehydrator, with lime and chili powder…yum! The ones that escape notice, and become Godzilla sized, are better used in a recipe like this.
