Savory Cheddar Zucchini Muffins

Savory Cheddar Zucchini Muffins

I developed this recipe when I had an abundance of zucchini and wanted a muffin to have with a chicken dinner. These savory muffins are great as a quick breakfast too! They’re a hit even with those who think they don’t like zucchini!

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded unpeeled zucchini
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.

Step 2
Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

Step 3
In another bowl, stir together the butter, egg, milk, zucchini, and garlic until well blended. Mix the flour mixture into the milk mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring between additions, until the flour mixture is incorporated. Fold in the Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and crumbled bacon, and pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow muffins to cool slightly before removing from muffin cups; serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.
