Description
The almond butter zucchini muffins paleo dairy free are the perfect way to sneak vegetables into your breakfast without anyone noticing they’re eating something wholesome. Shredded zucchini keeps these muffins moist while almond butter gives you that rich, nutty flavor that makes them taste like a treat rather than health food.
Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350°F and fit a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Combine 1 cup of almond butter, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract in a bowl, stirring until the mixture reaches a smooth consistency.
- Fold in your 1 cup of grated zucchini along with 1 tsp of cinnamon, 1/2 tsp of baking soda, and 1/4 tsp of salt, mixing until everything is well incorporated.
- Spoon the batter evenly into each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters of the way up.
- Slide your tin into the 350°F oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack.
Notes
- Grate your zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture with a clean kitchen towel so the muffins stay tender instead of becoming soggy.
- If your almond butter is thick, thin it slightly with a little water or coconut oil to help the batter mix smoothly and distribute evenly.
- These muffins freeze beautifully for up to three months, making them convenient to grab for quick breakfasts or snacks throughout the month.
- For a nut-free version, replace almond butter with sunflower seed butter using the same amount, and your muffins will turn out just as moist and delicious.
