Keto Cheesy Zucchini Muffins with Almond Flour
These Keto zucchini muffins with almond flour are delicious, moist, cheesy, and easy to make. They also make an excellent savory breakfast option. The muffins are great for meal prep since they can be made ahead of time and reheated to make a delicious snack throughout the week. They are best enjoyed warm with the melted cheese oozing as you devour them.
How should you store these zucchini almond flour muffins?
We highly recommend making a double batch of these Keto zucchini muffins to have on hand during the week. Store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. These Keto zucchini muffins are not suitable for freezing; therefore, make enough for just one week.
Do you need to make these Keto muffins with almond flour?
Not necessarily. These Keto zucchini muffins can be made with coconut flour instead. Although very absorbent, the moisture in the zucchini helps to keep the muffins moist and soft even when using coconut flour. Be sure to adjust the ratio of coconut flour correctly to avoid altering the texture of these muffins. For this particular recipe, use ½ cup coconut flour instead of 1 1/8 cups almond flour; the muffins will turn out just as tasty.
How do you reheat these Keto almond flour muffins?
These Keto zucchini muffins with almond flour can be reheated in the microwave or oven. Whenever you are ready to eat, just pop them in the oven for about 5 minutes at 350F/180C or in the microwave for 30 seconds. If they are still cold, microwave them for a further 30 seconds. Enjoy them warm because cooling can make the muffins firm due to the hardening of the cheese.

Recipe Steps
steps 5
35 min
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a muffin tray with muffin liners. Grate the zucchini and mozzarella cheese. Set aside.Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the grated zucchini, butter, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine. Add the eggs, dried oregano, and baking powder. Gently mix to combine. Ensure that the eggs are well incorporated and the grated zucchini is well coated in the liquid mixture.Step 3
Then, add the almond flour in two batches while gently mixing with a spatula. The batter should have a thick consistency.Step 4
Add the grated mozzarella cheese and mix. Use an ice cream scoop to evenly portion the batter among the muffin holes. This ensures that each muffin has the same amount of batter hence an equal amount of carbs per muffin serving. The batter should make 8 muffins.Step 5
Bake for 20 minutes until the muffins are slightly golden on top. Once done, allow the muffins to cool down in the muffin tray before transferring them to a plate. Enjoy them as they are, or top them with some salted cream cheese.

These have become a staple food for me, I love them. Thank you so much for the recipe. They are very handy when I'm travelling, boating or camping, I pop a few into a sandwich box and put in the cooler. I can't use shop bought grated mozzarella so I grate a mozzarella ball instead. I use ground almond instead of almond flour, it's one third of the cost. I change the recipe often, adding chopped olives or olive paste, fresh basil and additional cheeses such as grated sharp cheddar, pecorino or parmesan. I've no idea what thus does to the numbers but it's always delicious and the wheat eaters in the house love them too.

I think the confusion comes because the photo is for a six muffin tin, but the recipe is supposed to make eight muffins
