Keto Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins
Ingredients List
- 1 cup finely grated zucchini from 1 medium (10 oz) zucchini
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated brown erythritol-based sweetener (like Swerve)
- 2¼ cups almond flour
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
- sea salt
- 6 Tbsp butter, melted and cooled
- 6 Tbsp heavy cream, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips divided (such as Lily’s dark chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a muffin tray with 12 paper cups.
- Wrap the grated zucchini in a clean dish towel, then twist and squeeze to extract excess moisture. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sweetener until combined. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, xanthan gum, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Mix in the egg mixture, cooled melted butter, and cream. Gently fold in the zucchini and chocolate chips.
- Divide the thick, coarse batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Bake until the tops are golden and a skewer inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes, then remove the muffins to a cooling rack. Let cool for at least 1 hour.

Absolutely delicious! The recipe is missing the direction for sprinkling some of the saved chocolate chips for the top. Great keto breakfast or snack! Thank you!
Sooooo yummy – my 3 year old loves them!! Made with and without chocolate chips – love them both!
Love these muffins. I split the batter and made half with Lilly’s chocolate chips and the other half with blueberries. Sooo good!
Really good!
The muffins exceeded my expectation and very light. They were also not over sweet. However, when I plugged ingredients used in myfitness pal I am coming out with 250 calories per cupcake and closer to 5grams net carbs.
The variance is likely due to the brand of almond flour, they are all just a little bit different.
Can you bake this in 8/10 inch bread pan instead of muffin tins?
I’m sure you absolutely can but you’ll have to monitor the doneness because we haven’t tried it as a loaf.
