Adapted from a recipe by Candace that used to be posted on YourLighterSide.com. I think they are best after cooling in the fridge for a bit. Love that these don't spike my blood sugar like some other low carb muffins I have tried.

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons wheat bran
1 1/2 cups soy flour plus 2 tablespoons
1/2 cup small diced zucchini, with skin on
3 eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup club soda
1/3 cup sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or butter. In a small bowl, mix together 4 tablespoons wheat bran and 2 tablespoons soy flour and sprinkle it evenly over each of the 12 cups of the muffin pan.
  • In a larger bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients until completely blended. Fill each muffin cup only 2/3 of the way with the mix, leaving room for them to rise, and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until tops start to brown. The muffins are done when lightly browned and a wooden toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove and let cool before taking out of the pan.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Use medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that are too large or have blemishes.
  • Grate the zucchini finely. This will help the muffins to be moist and tender. You can use a food processor or a box grater to grate the zucchini.
  • Use almond flour or coconut flour instead of wheat flour. This will make the muffins low-carb and gluten-free. If you don't have almond flour or coconut flour, you can use a blend of the two.
  • Add some sweetness with natural sweeteners. You can use a variety of natural sweeteners in these muffins, such as stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit. You can also use a combination of sweeteners.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature. This will help the muffins to rise and become fluffy. Bake the muffins at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Low-carb zucchini muffins are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy zucchini. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. These muffins are also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. Give this recipe a try and let us know what you think in the comments below!
