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 milk
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup grated zucchini, squeezed dry
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or parsley
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, milk, olive oil, and melted butter until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the shredded cheese, grated zucchini, and chopped 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 squeezed dry to prevent soggy muffins.
Feel free to add other herbs like dill or basil for extra flavor.
These muffins are delicious served warm or at room temperature.
