Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup grated zucchini, squeezed dry
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
- Stir in the grated zucchini, shredded cheddar cheese, chives, and parsley until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vegetable oil.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For best results, ensure your grated zucchini is well-squeezed to remove excess moisture.
- You can substitute feta cheese for cheddar, or use a mix of both.
- Feel free to add other herbs you enjoy, such as dill or thyme.
