Do I need to squeeze the liquid from the zucchini?
In this recipe you do. The best way I have found to do this is to grate the zucchini directly onto a tea towel, wrap it tightly, and squeeze the liquid out. Easy peasy!

Tip: Hitting your 20–30g protein per meal goal helps you stay full and supports muscle.
Ingredients
- 2 Cups almond flour (see my favorite on Amazon)
- ½ Cup sugar free granulated sweetener (see my favorite on Amazon)
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 ½ Cups Grated Zucchini with peel, (yield from 1 medium zucchini)
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- ¼ Cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line your muffin tin with cupcake liners and spray the inside of your liners with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, sweetener and baking soda.
- Wrap your grated zucchini in a paper towel and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Once you have squeezed out the excess liquid out of your zucchini, add to your mixing bowl, along with eggs and melted butter.
- Stir until all ingredients are fully combined. Scoop the zucchini batter equally into each cupcake liner and place into already preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool and serve.

Delicious! I made a few changes: “Sweated” the grated zucchini with half of the recipe‘s kosher salt for one hour then wrung out water by hand. Used Truvia Brown “Sugar” sweetener as I was out of any white keto granular sweetener, added 1/3 cup chopped walnuts and 1/3 c Choc Zero Dark Chocolate Chips. Used an ice cream scoop into silicone muffin cup liners that don’t need greasing. Muffins beautifully moist and flavorful. Loved the warm spices.
Next time, I will skip the “sweating “ step as Jennifer did and see how they turn out. Also, will leave out the expensive chocolate chips which were fine but prefer just the nuts. Thanks Jennifer

We love these muffins! Have made them several times and they come out great every time! There's a batch in the oven now. I just realized I peeled the zucchini! We'll see how that works out!

Do these freeze well ?

Can you use grated carrots in this recipe instead of zucchini?
Jennifer Banz says
Yep!

These are so easy to make, are very fluffy and taste great. I decided to try using my old hand-held potato ricer to press the liquid out of the zuchini and it worked like a charm!
