Preparation

  1. Serving size:
    2.80 oz (calculated)
    Notes: 1 muffin
  2. Temperature: 356 °F (preheated, circulating air)
  1. Grate the zucchini. You do not have to squeeze out the moisture, the coconut flour will absorb it.
  2. Melt the butter.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the zucchini, butter, salt and pepper.
  4. Stir in the beaten eggs and oregano.
  5. Stir the coconut flour and baking powder until the batter thickens, about a minute or so. Do not overwork the batter.
  6. Fold in the grated cheddar.
  7. Grease a muffin tin or use silicone cupcake molds. Divide the batter evenly. I like to first add 1/4 cup to each mold and then divide the rest. I added about 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter to each muffin after the initial 1/4 cup. It's ok to overfill the holes and make a small pile, as the muffins don't rise too much.
  8. Bake until the muffins are golden, about 25 minutes.
  9. Let cool for a couple of minutes and enjoy.

  10. Meal Prep Tip

  11. You can store the muffins in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Enjoy at room temperature or gently reheat in the oven or microwave.
