Easy Keto Zucchini Bread or Muffins
A simple and delicious recipe for low-carb zucchini bread or muffins, perfect for a healthy snack or breakfast.
Equipment
- 9x5 inch loaf pan
- 12-cup muffin tin
- Box grater
- Clean Kitchen Towel
- Large mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 2 Cups almond flour
- 0.5 Teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (omit for savory bread)
- 0.5 Cup sugar-free granulated sweetener (omit for savory bread)
- 1 Teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 Large Eggs Beaten
- 0.25 Cup Melted butter
- 1.5 Cups Grated Zucchini with peel (liquid squeezed out)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, and baking soda. If you're making a sweet bread, stir in the cinnamon and sugar-free sweetener now. For a savory version, simply skip the cinnamon and sweetener.
- Prepare your zucchini: Use a box grater to shred the zucchini. Then, place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess liquid as you possibly can. This step is crucial for perfectly moist, not watery, bread. Discard the liquid.
- Add the squeezed zucchini, beaten eggs, and melted butter to the dry ingredients in your bowl. Stir everything gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- For a Loaf: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- For Muffins: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cups of your muffin tin. Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
- Let your delicious bread or muffins cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy your healthy, low-carb treat!
Notes
Optional Flavor Boost: For an extra touch, fold in ½ cup of walnuts or sugar-free chocolate chips, or 1 cup of blueberries into the batter right before baking. Remember this will slightly change the nutrition.
