Keto Zucchini Muffins
Description
The recipe uses 6 eggs whipped until doubled in volume to create a light base, combined with ⅔ cup coconut flour and melted coconut oil to form a thick batter. Grated zucchini adds moisture and subtle vegetable flavor without needing to be squeezed dry. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla provide warm, aromatic notes throughout the muffins.
Baked at 180°C (350°F) for about 25-30 minutes, the muffins develop a light brown top and a clean skewer test indicates doneness. The texture is moist and tender, balancing the denser coconut flour with the moisture from zucchini and eggs.
These muffins can be served as a snack or breakfast component within a keto diet. They keep well refrigerated for up to five days and also freeze well for up to three months, offering convenient make-ahead options.
Ingredients
- 6 egg or 5 large, medium
- 75 g / ⅔ cup coconut flour
- 125 g / 1 cup packed zucchini grated
- 75 ml / ⅓ cup coconut oil melted, or butter
- 50 g / ¼ cup granulated sweetener
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg grated
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius/350 Fahrenheit.
- Grate the zucchini and melt your coconut oil in a pan or the microwave. If you do not want to see green specks in your muffins, peel the zucchini first. There is no need to squeeze any liquid out of the zucchini.
- Beat the eggs with an electric mixer or in a food processor until pale and about double in size. This takes around 3 minutes.
- Add all other ingredients except the zucchini and mix well.
- Stir in the zucchini.
- Line a muffin pan with paper cups and fill each cup with the dough.
- Bake 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned on top and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Notes
- Each muffin contains about 8 grams net carbs, making them suitable for low-carb diets.
- The muffins freeze well and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days.
- If desired, peel zucchini before grating to avoid visible green specks in muffins.
