Let's cook.

01

Prepare and Bake Muffins

Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and give your silicone muffin cups a quick spray with cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix together the protein powder, tapioca flour, sorghum flour, arrowroot flour, oat flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and xanthan gum until everything is well combined. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, grated zucchini, applesauce, stevia powder, and oil until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir just until everything comes together. Fold in the walnuts, then let the batter rest for about five minutes. Scoop the batter into your prepared cups, filling each one all the way to the top. Pop the muffins in the oven and bake for around 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once they’re done, let them cool on a wire rack before peeling off the liners.

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Grate the zucchini finely and squeeze out excess moisture to prevent soggy muffins.
- Use a toothpick to check doneness; it should come out clean when muffins are fully baked.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the muffins light and tender.

Why you’ll love it

Serving ideas

Enjoy these muffins warm for breakfast or as a snack. They pair well with a smear of butter or cream cheese. You can also serve them alongside a fresh fruit salad for a balanced and tasty treat.

Storage & leftovers

Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them individually wrapped and thaw at room temperature when ready to eat. Reheat briefly in the microwave for a fresh-baked feel.
