Low Carb Powerhouse Muffins. I used to make 24 of these Powerhouse Muffins everyday for a restaurant-catering company I worked for and people stood in line to get them when they were delivered. They were so good that I adapted them to low carb-and they are still so good. I hope you’ll agree.

Put Into Large Bowl In Order
- 2 Small Grated Zucchini
- 1 Small Grated Yellow Squash
- 1 Grated Carrot
- ½ C Grated Granny Smith Apple
- 1 C Wheat Bran
- 1 C Allulose***
- ¾ C Almond Meal
- ½ C Coconut Flour
- ¼ C Golden Flaxseed Meal
- ½ t Salt
- ¾ t Soda
- 2 t Cinnamon
- 1 T Grated Orange Peel
- ½ C Desiccated Coconut
- ½ C Chopped Pecans
Mix
- 2 Eggs
- ½ C Melted Coconut Oil (Butter Will Work As Well)
- 1 T Vanilla
- 1 T Orange Extract
- 2 T Molasses
- ⅓ C Allulose***
Instructions
- Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and toss until just mixed.
- Spray a non-stick medium size muffin pan. I use a USA Crown Muffin Pan-It is the absolute perfect size for all kinds of muffins.
- Use a heaping, and I do mean heaping size #16 Scoop. This is a ¼ cup scoop but if you try to use a ¼ cup it will not be enough to fill the muffin-hole space and you will have extra batter-not good.
- Bake at 325 degrees 30 minutes then let rest 10-15 minutes on counter. They need to set and if not, the top may come off...and you'll have to gasp...eat it.
- Gently take out of pan.
- These are terrific slathered with butter for breakfast.

Hello: these look really good just a question re the “small” zucchini, and “small” yellow squash, would you say grated it is 1/2 cup or more or less. Thanks
Debbie,
Probably more than ½ C and I would suggest using a large holed grater. Both veggies have a ton of water in them so as you pile everything into the bowl and then add the eggs etc., mix quickly and get into muffin tin & then into the oven quickly. When I say to stuff the muffin tin holes I mean so that you don’t have any batter left over By the time you fill the muffin holes those veggies will have released a lot of water and will become kind of useless at that point. Another Suggestion: Do use butter instead of coconut oil.
Thank you very much for the quick replay. My squash pants were kind of a bust this year, who ever heard of not having a glut of zucchini, but to much rain and not enough heat here in Canada. I do have some so hoping to make some muffins this weekend.
Hey Debbie,
If you make them, can you please send me a pic? Have fun.
