    Sugar Free Homemade Zucchini Muffins

     
    When I first posted this recipe it was focused on the sugar free aspect.
    However, I have been asked by many readers how to make this recipe low carb or gluten free.
    As a result, I have updated this muffin recipe.

     

    I first made these muffins when I had an abundance of zucchini in my garden that needed to get put to use.
    While I do enjoy my zucchini cooked as it is, I also like to use it in recipes.
    Hence, we have this recipe for zucchini muffins.

     

    As I have mentioned, this recipe has been updated to reflect other dietary needs.

    This recipe update uses a basic baking mix. To make this muffin gluten free, simply substitute in a gluten free baking mix. Making this a low carb recipe would mean substituting in a low carb baking mix such as this one. Please make sure that you are using a baking mix and not just a flour alternative.

    The recipe for Sugar Free Homemade Zucchini Muffins

    By the way, many people like to add chocolate chips to their zucchini bread or muffins.
    While I have never tried this, it could make these muffins taste even better for some folks.
    You can find sugar free/gluten free chocolate chips online.
     
    What you will need to make these Sugar Free Homemade Zucchini Muffins

     

    • Baking Mix- 1 ยฝ cups. Options: basic baking mix, gluten free baking mix, or low carb baking mix such as this one. Please make sure that you are using a baking mix and not just a flour alternative.

    How to make Sugar Free Homemade Zucchini Muffins

     

    • Preheat your oven to 325 and prep your muffin pan for nonstick. This recipe is good for 12 average sized muffins.
    • In a mixing bowl, combine together your baking mix, sugar alternative and milk. I use a paddle attachment set on low-medium speed.
    • Slowly add the vegetable oil and then the egg and vanilla extract. Do not over-mix - simply blend your ingredients together.
    • Fold in the zucchini and then the remaining optional ingredients by hand.
    • Bake these muffins for 23-28 minutes or until they begin to brown.

    We like to eat these muffins while they are warm.

     
    However, they are also delicious as left overs the next day. I also like to make these and bring them into my restaurant for my coworkers to enjoy. Everyone likes these especially, when I also bring in some zucchini for them to bring home to enjoy.

      If you make it without sugar what might be the best type of honey to use?

        Hi. All Purpose. Thanks!

      Could I use carbquik instead of APF?

      • SFD

        April 16, 2018 at 8:12 am

        Hi. Carbquik has the flour as well as other ingredients- it is moe of a baking mix. However, Carbalose is the flour ingredient that is in in Carbquik that you could use. thanks

      I made the zucchini muffins, but they didn't rise. I used carbquik. Any idea why they didn't rise?

      • Sugar Free Diva

        July 13, 2018 at 9:27 am

        Carbquik contains a leavening agent- like a product like Bisquick does. There should have been a rise. If you used Carbalose (the flour alternative ingredient in Carbquik) then you would have needed to add a leavening agent. Thanks

      I hate to sound ignorant, but have never used much for mixes, only โ€œscratch.โ€ What is a baking mix, something like Bisquck? Am loving your recipes!!

      • SFD

        July 16, 2018 at 3:43 pm

        Hi. I use Carbquik a lot in my recipes. Carbquik is a low carb version of a baking mix.
        Thanks so much!!
