Healthy Zucchini, Feta & Yogurt Muffins image

Although my picture doesn't do justice to these muffins. They turned out darker than they should have. I promise you though there is literally nothing better than a quick & easy snack for the office, school, or when you're rushing out the door in the morning. Easy to make with so much flavor! Hope you enjoy these muffins as much as my family and friends do.

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 medium zucchini, coarsly shredded, drained from liquid
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup(s) greek yogurt, strained
1/2 cup(s) vegetable oil or seed oil
1 cup(s) self rising flour & a bit more to flour pan if not using paper liners
1 1/2 cup(s) feta cheese, crumbled
salt & pepper
2 tablespoon(s) or handful of mint leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 35o degrees. Grease & flour muffin pan or line with paper liners (cups)
  • In a small bowl, lightly beat 2 eggs.
  • In a large bowl combine all the ingredients together & fold in the lightly beaten eggs.
  • Fill the prepared muffin pan to the top (they don't puff much) But just to be on the safe side I place the muffin pan on a cookie sheet & then place it in the oven to bake for 45-60 minutes.
  • Let cool & then enjoy. Actually they're much better the next day.
  • TIPS:: 1. Dill or/& oregano could be used,, if mint isn't available. 2When using shredded zucchini in a recipe, I always place the shredded zucchini in a dish towel & squeeze out as much liquid as possible. I always do this a day before using/cooking. 32 fresh green onions, finely chopped could also be added.

ZUCCHINI YOGURT MULTIGRAIN MUFFINS



Zucchini Yogurt Multigrain Muffins image

I tried finding a recipe to get my picky toddler to eat her vegetables. Since I couldn't find a healthy one, I came up with this. Using one cup carrots and one cup zucchini is a nice way to get both the yellow and green veggies into the diet! Any type of nuts, raisins, etc. may be used in the recipe -- whatever is on hand and toddler approved.
