Notes
- Spoon the almond flour into the measuring cup, then level.
- To prevent soggy muffins, give a gentle squeeze to the shredded zucchini to remove some of the moisture before adding the batter. Also cool your muffins on a wire rack so they don't steam themselves in the muffin pan.
- You can use your oil of choice. Make sure it has a neutral flavor. If you warm coconut oil to measure as a liquid, allow it to cool before adding it to the other ingredients.
- To make a keto chocolate zucchini loaf, spoon the batter into a small parchment lined loaf pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set.
