Leanne’s Phase 1 Zucchini Muffins

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups Lupin flour (could sub. Carbquick)
  • 1/2 cup oat fibre
  • 2 cups skin on grated zucchini
  • 1/2 cup Splenda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp each ginger, nutmeg and mace
  • 1/2 tsp half salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup canola oil

Directions:

  • Mix dry ingredients well, add grated zucchini and mix to coat all of the zucchini.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, oil and almond milk.
  • Then mix wet ingredients into dry. It will be very thick, but remember the zucchini will release moisture as it cooks.
  • Then place in 12 prepared muffin tins… And bake about 30 mins at 350F.

The spices are really good at covering the bean flavour of the Lupin flour, I enjoyed them. I’m pretty sure carbquick would work equally well as a replacement for the Lupin flour, if that s what you have.

They are .8 net carbs if you count the zucchini under your veg… Phase 1 suitable as a snack for 1 muffin.
