Zucchini Bread Muffins

Salting the shredded zucchini and letting it drain for 10 minutes before mixing it in is what keeps these muffins from turning watery and dense once baked.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1/2 tsp salt (for draining)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup allulose
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Method

  1. 1

    Toss shredded zucchini with 1/2 tsp salt and let it sit in a colander for 10 minutes, then squeeze out the released liquid firmly with a clean towel — zucchini is mostly water, and this salting-and-draining step pulls that moisture out before it can go into the batter, which is what keeps the muffins from turning watery and dense once baked.

  2. 2

    Whisk eggs, avocado oil, allulose, and vanilla together.

  3. 3

    Whisk almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together, then fold into the wet mixture along with the drained zucchini.

  4. 4

    Preheat oven to 375°F, line a muffin tin, and divide batter among the cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

  5. 5

    Bake 19-21 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
