GF Carrot Zucchini Muffins

We are back in Newport and Spring is amazing!  Wow, such a nice break and change from St Thomas.  It is May Fair time at all the schools and my kids school is hosting their fair tomorrow so when they asked for baked good items I was one of the first to sign up.  No doubt in my mind that these will be the only gluten free minimal grain muffin on the table.  These muffins are so awesome and moist that they don't even need the frosting but for an affair as such with all the kids a light cream cheese and honey frosting can't hurt and now we have "cupcakes"!  My two little picky eaters LOVE these muffins as will yours.  Big Thanks to Crystal for sending this recipe my way.  Enjoy!
