Ingredients:

1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
2 tbsp baking powder
30g
1 cup carrots
120g
1 zucchini
200g
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
50g
2 eggs
100g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1/3 cup olive oil
80g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Wash and peel the carrots, then shred them using a grater.
- Wash and grate the zucchini. If the zucchini is particularly watery, you may want to give it a gentle squeeze to remove some of the excess moisture.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Stir well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the milk and olive oil to the eggs, and mix well until fully combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in Vegetables and Cheese:
- Gently fold in the shredded carrots, grated zucchini, and cheddar cheese into the batter. Ensure they are evenly distributed without overmixing.
7. Fill Muffin Tin:
- Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.
8. Bake:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
9. Cool:
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve:
- Enjoy your cheesy veggie muffins warm or at room temperature. They're perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a savory addition to any meal.

Tips:

- Grate the carrots and zucchini finely to ensure they blend well into the muffin batter and cook evenly.

- Use a non-stick muffin tin or line the tin with paper liners to make it easier to remove the muffins after baking.

- Feel free to add other veggies like bell peppers or spinach for extra flavor and nutrients.

- For a richer flavor, you can use sharp cheddar cheese or mix in some Parmesan.

- Be sure not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.

- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean, they’re ready!

- Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for several days.

Your Cheesy Veggie Muffins are now ready to be enjoyed! These muffins are a fantastic way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet while indulging in the rich, cheesy flavor. Serve them warm for the best taste. They also make great on-the-go snacks or lunchbox additions. Happy baking!
