Ingredients

  • 2 cups zucchini, coarsely grated
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. 1Heat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. 2Squeeze the grated zucchini in a clean towel until only lightly damp.
  3. 3Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
  4. 4Whisk eggs, milk, and olive oil separately, then stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened.
  5. 5Fold in zucchini, cheddar, and green onions without overmixing.
  6. 6Divide batter among muffin cups and bake 18–20 minutes until the tops spring back.

💡 Squeeze the zucchini firmly; excess water makes the muffins heavy and leaves damp pockets around the cheese.
