Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1½ tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1½ cups grated zucchini

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set the oven temperature to 170°C (350°F) with the fan on to ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare muffin cases: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper muffin cases to prevent sticking and aid easy removal.
  3. Grate zucchini: Using a grater, finely grate the zucchini directly into a large mixing bowl to keep all moisture and flavor.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: Add the almond flour, salt, and baking powder to the bowl with grated zucchini.
  5. Add eggs and mix: Crack the eggs into the bowl and stir all ingredients thoroughly until a smooth, uniform batter forms.
  6. Fill muffin cases: Evenly spoon the batter into the 12 prepared muffin cases, filling each about 3/4 full for proper rising.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool at room temperature to set the texture.
  9. Serve and enjoy: Once cooled, serve the muffins fresh or store them for a healthy grab-and-go snack.

Notes

  • Ensure zucchini is finely grated to incorporate well into the batter and prevent large watery chunks.
  • For extra moisture, gently squeeze excess water from grated zucchini before mixing if desired.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed within 2-3 days but can be frozen for longer storage.
  • You can add ½ tsp cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor if preferred.
  • Almond flour provides a dense texture; ensure eggs are fresh to help bind all ingredients well.
