Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium zucchini, grated (about 1.5 cups)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (for cheddar variation)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (for feta variation)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (for feta variation)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, egg, milk, and melted butter.
  3. Add the baking powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine.
  4. Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the grated zucchini.
  6. Divide the batter into two bowls.
  7. In the first bowl, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives.
  8. In the second bowl, stir in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped dill.
  9. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  10. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.
  11. 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, squeeze excess moisture from the grated zucchini before adding it to the batter.
  • You can substitute other herbs like parsley or basil for the chives and dill.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
