Keto Zucchini Muffins

Keto Zucchini Muffins feature a low-carb batter with coconut flour and shredded zucchini for moisture and texture. Eggs provide structure and lift, while coconut oil adds fat. The muffins are flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract, then baked to a lightly browned, tender finish, making them suited for those on ketogenic diets seeking vegetable-enhanced baked goods.

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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius/350 Fahrenheit.
  2. 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.
  3. Beat the eggs with an electric mixer or in a food processor until pale and about double in size. This takes around 3 minutes.
  4. Add all other ingredients except the zucchini and mix well.
  5. Stir in the zucchini.
  6. Line a muffin pan with paper cups and fill each cup with the dough.
  7. 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.
