Ingredients
Scale

- 1/2 cup maple sugar
- 1/3 cup refined coconut oil melted and cooled slightly
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- 1/3 cup tapioca flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 cups finely shredded zucchini squeezed very well, about 2 med zucchini
- 1 cup fresh blueberries plus a few extra for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with parchment liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple sugar, coconut oil, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
- In another bowl, mix the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined; the batter will be thick.
- Fold in the squeezed zucchini and then the blueberries, reserving some for topping.
- Let the batter rest for 3 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb moisture.
- Evenly distribute the batter among the muffin cups, filling nearly to the top and pressing extra blueberries on top.
- Bake for 23–25 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
