Ingredients:

2 cups shredded zucchini
2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/3 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or other keto-friendly oil)
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cavities.
Grate the Zucchini: Wash the zucchini thoroughly and grate it using a box grater or food processor until you have approximately 2 cups of shredded zucchini. Set aside.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, eggs, powdered erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener), and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves.
Incorporate Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in Zucchini and Optional Nuts: Add the shredded zucchini to the batter and fold gently until evenly distributed. If using, fold in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Fill Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin cavities, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delightful Keto Zucchini Muffins warm or at room temperature.
