Grain-free gluten-free zucchini muffins with coconut flour, almond flour, and Greek yogurt. These healthy gluten-free zucchini muffins have amazing texture and are incredibly healthy!
Nothing beats an amazing zucchini muffin! What I love about these muffins is they have unique flavor. The combination of flours used with Greek yogurt and pumpkin pie spice yields a moist, fluffy, tangy, perfectly sweet treat!
If you love zucchini muffins and are looking for something that has that familiar coffee house or childhood muffin with a little spin, these are for you!!
How to Make Zucchini Muffins:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. And pop liners into your muffin pan. Cut the ends off of your zucchini and grate into shreds using a box grater.
In a small bowl, combine the flours, baking soda and pumpkin pie spice.
Beat the sugar, yogurt, and eggs in your stand mixer until the sugar is incorporated.
Add the flour mixture a little at a time to the egg-yogurt mixture and beat on medium speed until combined. Add the shredded zucchini and fold into the batter until incorporated.
Transfer the muffin batter to the lined muffin tray. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until muffins are golden-brown and test clean.
Recipe Adaptations:
- You can easily replace the cane sugar with coconut sugar to keep these refined sugar-free.
- Replace the Greek yogurt with non-dairy yogurt OR full-fat canned coconut milk to make them dairy-free!
- You can replace the almond flour with hazelnut flour or rice flour.
- Don’t replace the coconut flour with any other type of flour, as it absorbs more liquid than other flours.
- In order to make these zucchini muffins paleo, replace the cane sugar with coconut sugar and replace the Greek yogurt with coconut milk yogurt or full-fat coconut milk.

I just made these and they came out very nice. I added a tsp of vanilla, a couple of drops of orange oil, and some grated orange rind; now my house smells great. Next time I will add 1/2 teaspoon of salt because I think they could use it to sharpen the flavors.
Ooh, I love the idea of adding orange zest – sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing your experience, Connie! xo
Do you need to squeeze the water from the zucchini? Thanks!
These are sooooo good! Thank you for a good and simple recipe that uses almond flour rather than a gluten-free blend. Made these super tasty!
I love that! So thrilled they worked out with a gluten-free blend – that’s great to know! xo
Do you have to squeeze out the moisture from the grated zucchini ?
Hi Ro! No need to squeeze the moisture out. ๐ Hope you enjoy!
Can these muffins be cooked in an instant pot. If yes, for how long would you cook them? Thanks.
Would you please add the Nutrition Facts for one serving. I’m on Keto and I’d love to make this recipe but I need numbers. Thank you!
Would love to make these but canโt use anything dairy. Any suggestions for substitute
Wasnโt sure about the yogurt measurements. 1 6 oz cup yogurt, So I took it as 1 cup and 6 ozโs. They are too moist even though I cooked longer
Hi Sheila, My mistake – I recently changed recipe plugins and some of my recipes didn’t trasnfer over correctly. It was supposed to be 6 ounces ๐
Ok they taste fantastic, I would recommend spraying the liners first or just spraying the pan before you add the mix. Success!
I made these, added 1/2 tsp. if each, allspice, cloves, cinnamon and 1tsp. of pumpkin pie spice. I used Erythritol in place of the sugar.
I made chocolate ones too. I added another 1/4 c of greek yogurt plus 1/4c of cocoa pwdr. Baking now, I’ll let you know how they turn out.
My brother recommended I would possibly like this website.
He was once totally right. This submit actually
made my day. You cann’t believe simply how much time I had spent for this
info! Thank you!
I made these tonight substituting the coconut flour for quinoa flour and oat flour. They are excellent, thank you!
I’m so glad you made and enjoyed them! Thanks for letting me know, Jolene – I’ll have to try the recipe with quinoa and oat flours!
I have learn a few good stuff here. Definitely worth bookmarking
for revisiting. I surprise how much effort you place to make this kind of great informative website.
Not so guilt free with the sugar. Any recommendations on how to alter the recipe with maple syrup instead of sugar? Thanks.
Hi Sapna, you can use coconut sugar or date sugar which I find to be a good 1:1 replacement for cane sugar. You could also try using chopped dates, a ripe banana or honey although you would need to alter the amount of almond flour you use since those options would throw off your liquid ratio. Let me know if you try these with any substitutions. Thanks!
Yes you can replace the sugar with 3 Tbsp of Stevia
You can also use plain yogurt with a little vanilla flavoring for less sugar.
When I made these muffins, I halved the amount of sugar to 1/4 cup, and used unrefined sugar (which is somewhat better). I then added 10 drops of liquid stevia.
These zucchini muffins look divine and they are loaded with goodness, Abby.
Oh Abby , these darling muffins look really delicious and healthy. We used almond flour before and really liked the consistency and the flavor.
Thank you,
