Parmesan Zucchini Potato Muffins Recipe
📝 Ingredients:
-
1 medium zucchini, grated (about 1 cup)
-
1 medium potato, peeled and grated (about 1 cup)
-
1/2 teaspoon salt (for sweating the veggies)
-
2 large eggs
-
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for extra cheesiness)
-
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or use whole wheat)
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
-
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions (optional)
-
Olive oil or butter for greasing the muffin tin
👩🍳 Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
-
Grate zucchini and potato, place in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Stir in the Parmesan, optional cheddar, and chopped chives or green onions if using.
-
Add the grated, squeezed veggies, then mix in the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Stir until combined. The batter should be thick but spoonable.
-
Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full.
-
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Let cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove to a wire rack.
