Savoury muffins

Savoury muffins are a delightful twist on traditional sweet muffins, offering a flavorful and nutritious option that can be enjoyed at any time of day. Packed with the goodness of carrots, zucchini, and parmesan cheese, these muffins make a perfect snack or accompaniment to your meals.

Ingredients:

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

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure the rack is positioned in the middle of the oven.
2. Prepare the Muffin Tin:
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
3. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Peel and grate the carrots. Set aside.
- Wash, trim the ends, and grate the zucchini. If it has excess moisture, place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to remove the excess water. Set aside.
4. Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Mix well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
5. Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the olive oil and milk, stirring until well combined.
6. Combine Ingredients:
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the eggs, olive oil, and milk mixture. Stir gently to combine.
- Add the grated carrots, grated zucchini, and grated parmesan cheese to the mixture. Fold gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the muffins tough.
7. Fill the Muffin Tin:
- Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. Fill each cup about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
8. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
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 the savoury muffins warm or at room temperature. They make a great snack or a side for soups and salads.

Tips:

- Grate the carrots and zucchini finely to ensure even distribution throughout the muffins.

- Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated zucchini to avoid soggy muffins.

- Feel free to add herbs like rosemary or thyme to enhance the flavor.

- Use silicone muffin cups or line your muffin tray with paper liners to prevent sticking.

- Let the muffins cool in the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These savoury muffins are not only delicious but also versatile. Whether you enjoy them warm out of the oven or as a quick snack on the go, they are sure to become a favorite. Try experimenting with different vegetables and cheeses to create your own unique version.
