👩🍳 Step-by-Step Guide
1. Prep Your Veggies (10 mins)
Chop all veggies small – think pencil eraser size. Why? Big chunks make muffins crumbly!
- Squeeze water out of zucchini with paper towels
- Lightly cook mushrooms to remove moisture
2. Mix the Batter (5 mins)
- Whisk eggs in large bowl until frothy 🥄
- Add almond flour, baking powder, spices. Mix until smooth
- Fold in veggies and cheese (like cheddar or mozzarella)
3. Bake to Perfection (15-18 mins)
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
- Fill muffin cups ¾ full
- Bake until golden – a toothpick should come out clean
🧊 Storage Made Simple

❓ FAQs: Your Questions Answered
Q: Can I use coconut flour instead?
Yes! Use ¼ cup coconut flour + add 4 extra eggs. It soaks up more liquid.
Q: My muffins deflated – help!
Three common fixes:
- Don't open oven door too early
- Let cool in pan 10 mins before removing
- Check baking powder isn't expired
Q: Are these vegan-friendly?
Try flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flax + 2.5 tbsp water per egg). Results will be denser but still tasty!
