Ingredients

  • cup almond flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse salt*
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup + 1 Tbsp shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded and squeezed zucchini (½ a large zucchini or 1 small zucchini)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. 
  • Pulse the flour, eggs, baking soda and spices in a blender until smooth. Add 1 cup cheese and the zucchini. Pulse until the zucchini is evenly incorporated but not pureed. Here you should still see noticeable flecks of green throughout the batter.
  • Spoon the batter into a lined muffin tin about ¾ full. Top with the extra 1 tablespoon cheese. Bake at 350°F about 25 minutes until the muffins are golden and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. 
  • After about 3-5 minutes, or when the muffins are cool enough to touch, remove the muffins from the pan to cool on a cooling rack. Serve warm. 

Notes

 
Refrigerate any leftovers. Reheat in a toaster oven or the regular oven.
