Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 cup Zucchini
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 3

Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the dry mixture, stirring to evenly distribute the herbs.

Step 4

Grate the zucchini, pressing out excess moisture with a paper towel, and add it to the dry mixture.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, eggs, olive oil, and milk until smooth.

Step 6

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure tender muffins.

Step 7

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
