Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour
2½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup minus 1½ tablespoon (220 ml) skim milk (you can use whole milk)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4.6 oz. (130 g) grated zucchini
3.5 oz. (100 g) reduced fat cheddar cheese (grated)
1 spring onion (finely chopped)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (170°C) and grease a muffin pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper and set aside.
  • Whisk the milk, egg, and oil together. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just incorporated.
  • Stir in the zucchini, cheddar cheese, spring onion and thyme with a wooden spoon until evenly dispersed.
  • The batter will be very thick, it's ok.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin (about ¾ full) and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the tops are just golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the zucchini cheddar cheese savory muffins to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before removing.
  • Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Enjoy!

I developed this recipe when I had an abundance of zucchini and wanted a muffin to have with a chicken dinner. These savory muffins are great as a quick breakfast too! They're a hit even with those who think they don't like zucchini!

1 cup shredded unpeeled zucchini
1 clove garlic, minced
