Description

Deliciously crispy muffins filled with zucchini and potato, perfect for a nutritious snack or side dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium zucchini, grated and drained
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and grated
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grate the zucchini and potato using a box grater or food processor. Wring out excess moisture.
  3. Combine the grated zucchini and potato in a large mixing bowl with flour, Parmesan, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a separate bowl and then add to the dry mixture, folding gently until just combined.
  5. Grease your muffin tin and spoon the batter into muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy on top.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Thoroughly draining the zucchini is key to avoid soggy muffins. Don’t overmix the batter to keep muffins fluffy.
