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 ½ 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.
  • Sugar Alternative- equivalent to ¾ cup of sugar. I prefer a granular alternative such as Splenda in this recipe.
  • Milk- ⅓ cup .
  • Vegetable or similar oil- ½ cup.
  • Egg- 1 lightly beaten.
  • Vanilla Extract- 1 teaspoon.
  • Zucchini- 1 cup shredded.
  • Optional- ½ cup of sugar free chocolate chips and/or ½ cups of nuts such as walnuts.

 

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?

    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 “scratch.” 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!!
