These zucchini, carrot, and honey muffins are a delightful blend of vegetables and sweetness, creating a healthy yet tasty option for breakfast or snacks. Packed with cheddar cheese and Greek yogurt, these muffins are not only delicious but also provide a good dose of nutrients.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
- Grate the zucchini and carrot using the large holes of a box grater. Finely chop the shallot and coriander leaves.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and a pinch of salt.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs. Add in the olive oil, Greek yogurt, and honey. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the grated zucchini, carrot, chopped shallot, grated cheddar cheese, and coriander leaves until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- 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.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature. They make a great snack or breakfast option.
Tips:
- Grate the zucchini and carrot finely to ensure even distribution throughout the muffins.
- If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can add a pinch of salt and pepper to the batter.
- Ensure all the vegetables are well-drained before adding to the batter to avoid excess moisture.
- Use a good quality olive oil to enhance the flavor of the muffins.
- For a more savory option, reduce the amount of honey or skip it altogether.
- Feel free to experiment with additional herbs or spices, such as adding some paprika or garlic powder for an extra kick.
- Let the muffins cool completely before storing them to avoid sogginess.
