Instructions

- Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the eggs, milk, olive oil, and lemon juice. Whisk well. Add cheese and mix well.

- Substitutions
- Substitutions
- Flour: This recipe is also great with gluten-free flour. We always recommend using Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Gluten Free Flour.
- Cheese: White cheddar is also delicious and another hard cheese like Asiago or Romero is delicious.
- Dried Herbs: You can substitute 1 tablespoon of minced fresh basil and/or parsley for the 1 teaspoon dried.
- Olive Oil: You can also use butter or vegetable oil, but we like the flavor of olive oil for these savory muffins.
- Muffin Mixing Tips
- Muffin Mixing Tips
- We suggest using a spatula for gentle mixing and folding in of the dry ingredients into the wet. When adding the zucchini, add in 3 parts to ensure that the zucchini is well distributed throughout the dough, but that you don't overmix the dough because that can result in dense muffins.
- Using Oversized Zucchini
- Using Oversized Zucchini
- For this recipe, one medium sized zucchini (unpeeled) finely shredded is just about the 1 cup that you need. Now if you have some huge zucchini in your garden that you need to use, they will absolutely work great for this recipe, just shred the flesh of the zucchini but leave out the seeds. Our favorite recipe for these big zucchini is our Zucchini "Apple" Bars!
