Chocolate Zucchini Keto Muffins

I\’ve been working on this recipe for weeks. I wanted to make chocolate muffins that were keto, but also had zucchini and avocado in them.  I am making these for my kids so I wanted to sneak in some veggies and healthy fats.  I\’d like to give credit to Keto Connect though, because after trying to make these a bunch of times I decided to use their method for making bread in this recipe and it helped make them so much fluffier.  Here is a link to the best keto bread recipe I have found. I used their egg white method for this recipe.

I love these muffins in the morning when I\’m on the go.  They are not super sweet but they are chocolatey, moist, and have only 3 net carbs per serving.
