Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
2 large eggs
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup milk
1 cup grated zucchini, squeezed dry
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as chives, parsley, or dill)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and milk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the grated zucchini, shredded cheese, and chopped fresh herbs.
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
Ensure your grated zucchini is well-squeezed to remove excess moisture. This prevents soggy muffins.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese and herbs to customize the flavor.
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
