Gluten free dairy free Zucchini Muffin or loaf recipe

I have been experimenting with substitutions in my favorite recipes so that everyone in my family can eat and enjoy the same foods. With the amount of time I spend baking and cooking anything that saves me some time and effort (like not making 2 versions) is well worth it. These is my favorite recipe for zucchini and I just made these gluten free. Thought I would share my success with you all. One little tip is use cupcake holders in the muffin tins so that you can pop them out easier. Please excuse the photography I need some practice.

1C brown sugar
3/4 C honey
1/2 C applesauce
