Servings: Makes approximately 12 muffins
Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup powdered erythritol or stevia (adjust to your desired sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any other plant-based milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup grated zucchini (squeeze out excess moisture with a paper towel)
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts (optional, for added texture and crunch)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with coconut oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, powdered erythritol (or stevia), baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well whisked. Add the melted and cooled coconut oil, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until you have a smooth batter.
- Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake the keto zucchini muffins in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes.
