Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1.25 cups buttermilk
- 1 piece large egg
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup zucchini, grated
- 0.5 cup carrot, grated
- 3 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the muffin tin)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or line it with muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the muffins remain light and fluffy.
Fold in the grated zucchini, grated carrot, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onion, and parsley. Mix until evenly distributed.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair wonderfully with soups, salads, or as a snack on their own!
