Low-Carb Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

These Low-Carb Chocolate Zucchini Muffins are a scrumptious and healthy dessert. This recipe is vegetarian and even happens to be gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free (since coconut is not actually a tree nut), dairy-free, refined sugar-free, and keto. Besides, these decadent muffins are veggie-packed and sweetened with low-carb sugar. For this recipe, I call for a white sugar substitute that is made with only monk fruit extract and erythritol. It contains zero calories, gives a delicious sweetness and necessary texture to baked goods.

These zucchini muffins have an enjoyable coconut flavor and totally hit the sweet spot. While technically a desert, these muffins make a stunning breakfast or healthy snack served with a glass of milk or a cup of tea. Enjoy these chocolatey and moist muffins with delight and free of guilt!

To make the Low-Carb Chocolate Zucchini Muffins, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Low-Carb Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

1	Preheat oven and prepare muffin tin
Preheat an oven to 350 °F and spray a muffin tin with baking spray.
2	Grate zucchini	2
Use the large holes on a box grater to grate 5 ounces zucchini. Place into a colander and sprinkle with a little salt, mix and set aside.
3	Combine dry ingredients	1
In a bowl, whisk together ¾ cup coconut flour, ½ cup low-carb sugar, ¼ cup cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon instant coffee granules, ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
4	Melt oil and chocolate	1
In a microwave safe bowl, melt together 4 ounces coconut oil and 1 ounce chopped chocolate at 30-second intervals.
5	Combine wet and dry ingredients	2
Add 6 large eggs one at a time to the bowl with dry ingredients. Once the eggs are incorporated, add melted chocolate and oil mixture and mix. Add ½ teaspoon vanilla and ½ teaspoon stevia glycerite and mix to combine.
6	Add zucchini	1
Using your hands, squeeze out the excess moisture from grated zucchini and add zucchini to the bowl. Mix well until combined.
7	Fill muffin tin	3
Divide the batter evenly between muffin cups and then lift the muffin tin a few inches up and gently let it drop down against the counter. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
8	Bake	15
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes. Test with a skewer to make sure the muffins are done. Leave to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing.
