HOW TO MAKE KETO BREAKFAST MUFFINS WITH ZUCCHINI, CHEDDAR AND HAM

 

Let’s first start by preheating your oven to 375F and spray a 12 cup muffin pan with cooking spray.

Now, let’s start grating your zucchini and start chopping you ham and set this aside.

Zucchini is really easy to grate with a box cheese grater.  it literally takes minutes!

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, salt, garlic powder and onion powder.

Add in the eggs, zucchini, cheddar cheese and ham.  Nope, no need to squeeze the liquid from the zucchini!

Make sure to mix well!

Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin tin. Your cups should be completely full!

I tested this recipe using muffin liners and it worked with and without the liners.  Just make sure to spray the inside of the liners before putting in the batter.

    Yum!! Just finished licking my fingers after eating this morning’s muffin!! These are worth the minutes it takes to prepare. After cooling, they’re in the freezer. ????

    This is now my favorite egg muffin! The zucchini is what sent this over the top. I will be making these ALL the time!! I did not have baking soda and substituted baking powder. It didn’t affect the taste.

    Great recipe that can be used for either breakfast or lunch. I used turkey because I didn’t have ham and it was still good.

  4. Can’t wait to try this recipe.

    Love this Recipe!

    I did squeeze out the zucchini juice, added a small amount of cajun seasoning, parsely, breakfast sausage, and chives. This recipe is a definite keeper in my Keto Arsonal!
    Thanks so much

        Thanks Jennifer. Made these today and they taste awesome. Used extra strong cheddar and they are so light and moorish. Will definitely be making again.
