Healthy Zucchini and Cheddar Breakfast Muffins

These healthy zucchini and cheddar breakfast muffins are a quick and easy way to start your day. They're made with almond flour, shredded cheddar cheese, grated zucchini, unsweetened almond milk, eggs, baking powder, salt, and pepper. They're gluten-free, grain-free, and dairy-free, and they can be made in just 15 minutes.

I developed this recipe a few years ago when I was looking for a healthy and portable breakfast option. I wanted something that was easy to make and that would keep me full all morning. These muffins fit the bill perfectly. They're packed with protein and fiber, and they're also low in carbs and calories. I love to make a batch of these muffins on the weekend and then grab one or two for breakfast during the week.
