Enjoy these delightful savory zucchini muffins, packed with cheese and fresh herbs. They are perfect for a quick breakfast or a satisfying snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (like chives, parsley, or dill)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and olive oil until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the grated zucchini, cheese, and fresh herbs.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure you squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini to prevent soggy muffins.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese and herbs to customize the flavor.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
