- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ½ cup tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the grated zucchini and optional nuts until evenly distributed.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your zucchini is well-drained after grating to avoid excess moisture in the muffins.
- You can substitute rice flour for tapioca starch if preferred.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
