Ingredients
  

For the Cheesy Zucchini Muffins
  • 1 cup grated zucchini squeeze out excess moisture
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup shredded cheese Cheddar or your favorite
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder optional
  • Fresh herbs optional, such as parsley or chives

Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Large Bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or give it a light grease.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, mix together the grated zucchini, all-purpose flour, shredded cheese, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, olive oil, and milk together until well combined.
  4. Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. It’s important not to overmix; a few lumps are totally fine.
  5. Step 5: If you like, fold in the chopped fresh herbs at this point for an added flavor boost.
  6. Step 6: Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups.
  7. Step 7: Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Step 8: Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
