1 cup sugar
1 lg orange zested, grated into large shreds
3 tsp Ener-G Egg Replacer mixed with 3 Tbsp warm water
1 cup zucchini, grated into large shreds
1/2 cup crushed pineapple
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 375 °F. Line a 12 cup cupcake or muffin baking tin with paper liners.

Cream butter/margarine, sugar, and orange zest until fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Whisk egg replacer, water, and vanilla together. Slowly incorporate into sugar/zest/butter mixture with an electric mixer until smooth. Add in zucchini and pineapple, mix until smooth.

In a small, separate bowl mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients slowly. Beat until smooth.

Substitutions

Butter and Margarine: Butter is a dairy product made from cow’s milk. Margarine typically contains milk or soy, but there are milk-free and soy-free versions available.
Corn Substitutions: Corn is a common ingredient in products. Starch, modified food starch, dextrin and maltodextrin can be from corn. Consult with your physician to find out which corn derivatives you need to avoid. Many corn-free options are available in the US. Find out more about corn substitutions.
Egg Substitutions: There are many egg-free products and foods available to make your recipes free of eggs. Find out more about egg substitutions.
Gluten: Gluten is a protein found in specific grains (wheat, spelt, kamut, barley, rye). Other grains are naturally gluten-free but may have cross-contact with gluten-containing grains.
