Sugar Free Homemade Zucchini Muffins Recipe
I grow zucchini garden in my garden every summer.
I love growing zucchini because watching the progress of the plants in my garden is really fun to do. Watching them grow is an amazing thing to see especially, when they star to flower.
Finding something to do with all of that zucchini is easy to do.
We eat plenty of it plain. I also bake with the results of my bounty.
Zucchini, aka. Summer squash, is a healthy vegetable.
When you eat one average zucchini you will eat about 33 calories worth of goodness. That’s pretty good because you can get a pretty good side dish or muffin batch made with that one zucchini. Zucchini is also virtually fat free and is a good source for potassium, vitamin A and vitamin C.
Most people do not know that the flowers from squash plants, such as zucchini, are edible.
In some places, it is customary to fry the flowers and then eat them. Of course, this would mean that because you ate the flowers, there would be no zucchini to enjoy later on. The flowers are stunning to look at just the same.
The Recipe-Sugar Free Homemade Zucchini Muffins
This recipe is easy to make. The difference in this recipe from other recipes is that we use sugar alternatives rather than sugar. The sugar alternative that should be used is the one that you are most comfortable using. As long as it is in equivalent amounts of that product to what is called for in the recipe, it should be good.

- Zucchini- 1 1/2 cups shredded with skin.
- Flour- 1 1/2 cups AP

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.
Perfect timing for this recipe. I’ll have to try it very very soon
Thanks for sharing this recipe! I love zucchini muffins!
I have never tried zucchini muffins before. They look so good and tall.
If you make it without sugar what might be the best type of honey to use?
Farmer’s market tomorrow I’ll have to buy some zucchini and make these muffins
What does AP mean after the flour?
Hi. All Purpose. Thanks!
Could I use carbquik instead of APF?
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
