Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Shredded zucchini about 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese shredded, or your favorite cheese
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk oat, almond, cow
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup Sour cream

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Prepare the Zucchini:

  • Grate the zucchini using a box grater. You don’t need to peel it; the skin adds extra nutrients and color. If the zucchini is very watery, give it a gentle squeeze to remove some of the excess moisture.

Mix the Dry Ingredients:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Mix the Wet Ingredients:

  • In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and sour cream until well combined. Stir in the shredded zucchini and cheese.

Combine the Ingredients:

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Fill the Muffin Tin:

  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. It should make 12 muffins

Bake the Muffins:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Cool and Serve:

  • Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use your preferred cheese.
Mix in fresh herbs, chives, etc. as desired.
