🥒 Why Zucchini Is Perfect for Keto Baking

Zucchini isn’t just for salads! Here’s why it’s a keto baker’s best friend:

Benefit	How It Helps
Low in Carbs	1 cup has just 3g net carbs
Adds Moisture	Keeps muffins soft without extra oil
Nutrient Boost	Packed with vitamin C and potassium

Tip: Always squeeze shredded zucchini in a towel to remove water. Wet batter = soggy muffins!

📝 Ingredients You’ll Need

Makes 12 muffins

Dry Ingredients

Ingredient	Amount	Why It’s Used
Almond flour	2 cups	Low-carb base (no grains!)
Erythritol	1/2 cup	Sweetens without sugar
Baking powder	1 tsp	Helps muffins rise
Cinnamon	1 tsp	Adds warmth and flavor
Salt	1/4 tsp	Balances sweetness

Wet Ingredients

Ingredient	Amount	Why It’s Used
Eggs (large)	3	Binds ingredients together
Melted butter	1/3 cup	Adds richness
Vanilla extract	1 tsp	Enhances flavor
Shredded zucchini	1 cup	Squeezed dry (about 1 medium)

Don’t have almond flour? Swap with coconut flour (use 1/2 cup + 4 eggs).

🥣 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Zucchini

Shred 1 medium zucchini (no need to peel!).
Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and let sit 10 minutes.
Squeeze in a clean towel to remove water.

Pro Tip: Save the zucchini water for soups or smoothies!

2. Mix the Batter

Whisk dry ingredients in a bowl.
Beat eggs, butter, and vanilla in another bowl.
Combine wet and dry mixtures. Fold in zucchini.

Batter should look: Thick but scoopable (like peanut butter).

3. Bake to Perfection

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a muffin tin with parchment cups.
Fill cups 3/4 full. Bake 18–22 minutes until golden.

Test doneness: Insert a toothpick—it should come out clean!

🎨 Fun Variations

Customize your muffins with these ideas:

Variation	Add-Ins
Double Chocolate 🍫	1/4 cup cocoa powder + sugar-free chips
Nutty Crunch 🌰	1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Lemon Zest 🍋	Zest of 1 lemon + 1 tbsp lemon juice

Rhetorical Q: Why stick to basic when you can go bold?

🔍 Troubleshooting Tips

Problem: “My muffins are too wet!” Fix: Squeeze zucchini harder—or bake 5 minutes longer.

Problem: “They didn’t rise!” Fix: Check your baking powder’s expiration date.

Storage: Keep in the fridge for 5 days or freeze for 3 months.
