Low Carb Zucchini Muffins – Keto Friendly – Grain, Gluten and Nut Free
A while back I created a recipe for grain free, gluten free and nut free zucchini muffins. Recently, I reworked the recipe to make them low carb and keto friendly as well. I’ve been able to reduce the number of carbs in each muffin from 23 grams to 5 grams of net carbs per muffin and these low carb zucchini muffins still have a hint of sweetness. Even though they’re low carb these muffins were still a hit with my family and met my requirements for a low carb, keto-friendly snack!
