Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200 g) almond flour, super-fine

  • 2 tbsp (14 g) coconut flour

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt

  • 3 large eggs

  • ½ cup (100–130 g) keto granulated sweetener (to taste)

  • 5 tbsp (70 g) unsalted butter, melted (or avocado oil)

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1½ cups (170 g) grated zucchini, well squeezed

  • ¾ cup (120 g) sugar-free chocolate chips

  • Optional: 2 tbsp sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt; ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan.

  2. Grate zucchini and squeeze out extra water with a clean towel until just damp.

  3. In a bowl whisk almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

  4. In another bowl whisk eggs, sweetener, melted butter (or oil), vanilla, and sour cream if using.

  5. Pour wet into dry. Fold until no dry spots remain. Batter will be thick.

  6. Fold in zucchini, chocolate chips, and nuts if using.

  7. Fill liners about ¾ full. Add a few chips on top if you like.

  8. Bake 18–22 minutes, until tops spring back and a toothpick comes out clean (melted chocolate smears are fine).

  9. Cool 5 minutes in pan, then move to a rack to finish cooling.

Notes

  • Squeeze zucchini well or muffins can be dense.

  • Allulose browns faster; you may want the higher end of sweetener for same sweetness.

  • Dairy-free: use avocado oil and skip sour cream.

  • Storage: airtight 2 days at room temp, 1 week in fridge, 3 months in freezer. Reheat at 300°F (150°C) for 8–10 minutes.

  • For taller domes: bake 5 minutes at 375°F (190°C), then lower to 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes.

  • Mini muffins: 10–12 minutes.
