Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, grated zucchini, chopped chives, and chopped parsley.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 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 your grated zucchini is well-drained to prevent soggy muffins.
  • Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like feta or Gruyere.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
