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
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, and milk 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 shredded zucchini, cheddar cheese, chives, and parsley.
  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 shredded zucchini to prevent soggy muffins.
  • Feel free to substitute feta cheese for cheddar, or add a pinch of garlic powder for extra flavor.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
