Our Savory Keto Cheese & Zucchini Muffins are tasty, moist and very easy cheesy.
These savory keto muffins are great for breakfast that can be made ahead and reheated as a keto snack.
Even before embarking on the Keto Diet I loved to eat all kinds of cheese. I cooked a lot with cheese, and generally made a mess in the kitchen with cheese.
Hence why there are many cheesy recipes on our blog – try our Bacon & Sour Cream Muffins, Cheese Chips, Broccoli Cheese Bites, and our Cheese & Bacon Rolls.
These Cheese & Zucchini Keto Muffins are best served warm, with the melted cheese oozing as they’re torn apart.
This recipe makes 12 serves, one keto muffin is one serve.

Just made these… do you think they would freeze well?
Hi Cindy,
I haven’t frozen them, but I think they will be fine. Any excess liquid from freezing will be soaked up by the coconut flour.

Do you need to squeeze out liquid from the zucchini at the beginning or does all the juice help keep these moist?
Hi Anne,
No need to squeeze out the liquid from the zucchini, it keeps the muffins lovely and moist.

How many muffins is one serving?
Hi Kim,
The recipe makes 12 serves, one serve is one muffin.
I’m sorry I meant peel the zucchini before grating
Hi Jennifer. No need to peel the zucchini 🙂
Great recipe, thanks. I did not find them to be overly eggy, and found the coconutty taste is a bit less when they are cooled. Loved them cold with a bit of butter.
I added bacon and cayenne pepper and saved some of the cheese for the top. The whole batch was demolished by my family and I in 2 days!
Will make again!
Hi Steph,
Bacon and cayenne are great additions! Thank you for you kind words

Thank you for your kind words, Susan!!
This was my first attempt at at Keto baking and these were great. I did add bacon after reading one of the comments, every thing is better with bacon. Thank you for the recipe, keep sharing please.
You are right Sunsh, everything is better with bacon!
Thank you for your kind words 🙂
Can I substitute coconut oil for the butter?
You sure can.
