Low Carb Zucchini Muffins image

Adapted from a recipe by Candace that used to be posted on YourLighterSide.com. I think they are best after cooling in the fridge for a bit. Love that these don't spike my blood sugar like some other low carb muffins I have tried.

Time 40m

Yield 9 muffins, 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large eggs
1 -2 tablespoon sugar-free vanilla syrup or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and adjust sweeteners to taste
1/4 cup erythritol
1/4 cup Splenda granular (or an equivalent amount of liquid sucralose)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup zucchini, grated (squeeze excess water out of zucchini before measuring and pack the measuring cup)
1/3 cup coconut flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut (optional)
1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Prepare muffin tin by placing paper liners in each well and spray liners with cooking spray. OR use parchment baking cup liners.
  • In large bowl mix together butter, eggs, vanilla syrup, erythritol, and splenda.
  • Sift coconut flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt together then mix into wet ingredients. Stir in zucchini, nuts, and chocolate chips and/or coconut if using.
  • Dish into muffin tins (fill almost to the top since these don't rise much) and bake for 30 minutes. Cool and refrigerate. These are better the next day and can be frozen.

Overall, I thought these muffins were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't amazing either.

These muffins didn't rise very well. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I found these muffins to be a bit dry. I would add more moisture next time, maybe by adding some applesauce or mashed banana.

These muffins are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I made these muffins gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. They turned out just as good as the regular version.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but these muffins were surprisingly good! They're moist and flavorful, and I couldn't even taste the zucchini.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover zucchini. I always have a few extra zucchinis in my garden, and these muffins are the perfect way to use them up.

I added a handful of chopped walnuts to my muffins for some extra crunch. They turned out great!

I love that these muffins are made with whole wheat flour and almond flour. It gives them a healthy boost of fiber and protein.

I made these muffins for my friends who are on a low-carb diet, and they loved them! They couldn't believe they were actually good for them.

I'm not usually a fan of zucchini bread, but these muffins changed my mind! They're so light and fluffy, with a delicious hint of cinnamon and nutmeg.

These zucchini muffins were a hit with my family! They're moist, flavorful, and the perfect way to sneak some extra veggies into their diet.
