These zucchini muffins are friendly to just about any diet. Not only do they contain minimal carbs, but you can enjoy them on a paleo, gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free, or wheat-free eating plan. With chunks of chewy bacon and the perfect blend of spices, even those not following a strict diet can enjoy these tender and flavorful muffins.

Zucchini muffins taste best warm from the oven with grass-fed butter or ghee spread over the top, but you can also add them to lunchboxes for a savory surprise. With this batter, you can also make mini muffins, jumbo muffins, or a low-carb bread loaf.

For a delicious breakfast, enjoy zucchini muffins with nourishing drinks like classic Bulletproof Coffee, turmeric beef bone broth, or a warm vanilla matcha latte.
