Zucchini Walnut Muffins

Serves: 8

Happy Sunday! I hope you are having a great weekend!! Today’s recipe was created for a special Ingredients Of A Fit Chick reader. She requested a zucchini muffin that was made with coconut flour, no protein and no added sugar. She wanted the sweetness to come only from the spices and extracts. Of course, I was very excited to create these for her because I absolutely love zucchini bread! I jumped right on her request and these little beauties are the result! I hope you enjoy them as much as we both did! :)

Just like perfect mini zucchini breads!!! These mini muffins were the perfect way to enjoy one of my favorite recipes…in a portion controlled way! ? I used the walnuts in mine and they gave the muffin such a great crunch that balanced out the sweet spices!
