Savory Zucchini Muffins

Savory Zucchini Muffins

Wouldn’t it be great to have a muffin and not worry about all the sugar?

I’ve been looking into developing sugar-free (this does not mean using artificial sugar!) muffins for a while now and this is one of my favorites. It’s such a versatile muffin; you can have it for breakfast as well as lunch with a fresh salad. You can freeze some of them and have them later.

  1. Sounds good, but I”m wondering, what is the health benefit of adding the roasted pepper in it? Thanks:-)

  2. i made it but omitted a lot of the fat, and used almond meal rather than corn meal. did i miss out? i quite enjoy it. i also put the pepper/ capsicum in with the anon and a bit of zucchini. i like this recipe, it having so many good elements- grain free, if you down use corn, all the fibre etc, and no eggs. suitable for vegans- i was vegan, now back to vegetarian, and don’t want to eat too much cholesterol..

  3. Hi Lisette – thanks for your comment – we are so glad you enjoy the recipe:-)
