These Sugar-Free Savory Veggie Muffins are the perfect wholesome snack or on-the-go breakfast option, packed with nutrient-rich vegetables like zucchini, carrot, and spinach. Made with whole wheat flour and no added sugar, these healthy muffins deliver a hearty yet light texture, thanks to a balanced combination of baking powder and baking soda. The addition of sharp cheddar cheese and green onions elevates the savory flavor profile, making them irresistible. Ready in just 40 minutes, including prep and bake time, these muffins are both quick and easy to make. Perfect for meal prep, they can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, and are ideal for both kids and adults looking for a nutritious, flavorful treat.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to mix thoroughly.
Add the grated zucchini, grated carrot, and chopped spinach to the dry ingredients. Toss until the veggies are well-coated with the flour mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and olive oil until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped green onions and grated cheddar cheese into the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 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 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 in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
