Ingredients:
- 6 eggs

- 1/2 cup granulated low-carb sweetener
- 3/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Muffin Tins:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- Combine Eggs and Oil: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and melted coconut oil until well combined.
- Add Sweetener: Gradually add the granulated low-carb sweetener to the egg mixture, whisking until smooth.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
4. Fold in Zucchini and Walnuts:
- Add Grated Zucchini: Gently fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Fold in Chopped Walnuts: Similarly, fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.
5. Fill Muffin Tins:
- Divide Batter: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
6. Bake and Serve:
- Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, serve and enjoy!
Cook’s Notes and Variations:
- Sweetener Options: Feel free to use your preferred low-carb sweetener, such as erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, or stevia, in place of granulated sweetener.
- Nut-Free Option: If you have nut allergies or prefer nut-free muffins, simply omit the walnuts from the recipe. The muffins will still be delicious and nutritious without them.
- Add-Ins: Get creative with your add-ins! Consider adding shredded coconut, dark chocolate chips, or pumpkin seeds for extra flavor and texture.
