Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 1 cup grated) Zucchini
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 1 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped, optional) Green onions
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
Wash and dry the zucchini, then grate it using the large holes of a box grater. Squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until well blended.
Step 4
In a separate medium mixing bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk and olive oil until well combined.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the grated zucchini, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
