Every year I bake up some cupcakes for our Christmas party. This year I made the GI Diet cookbook's chocolate zucchini muffins to keep things healthy. Instead of using icing which is full of sugar I made a cream cheese icing from the carrot cake recipe in the book. They went well together. The recipe uses a small amount of orange juice concentrate for flavour but I think it would have tasted just as good without it. The blue and white snowflake sprinkles I added on top however were not sugar free or GI friendly.
SERVED WITH: Chocolate zucchini muffins
COOKING TIPS: Don't be deceived as I was. At first I thought I would not have enough icing so I doubled up the recipe and then ended up with too much.
RATING: 9. I'm looking forward to trying it out on the carrot cake as the recipe originally intended.
