Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk and olive oil, and whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the muffins tender.
Fold in the grated carrot, zucchini, chopped red bell pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, and chives into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
