Zucchini Quiche Muffins are the perfect healthy and versatile snack that you can enjoy any time of day. These savory little bites are packed with nutrient-dense zucchini, creamy eggs, and melty cheese, making them a satisfying breakfast, brunch, or on-the-go option.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or feta)
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ cup green onions, finely chopped
- ¼ cup bell pepper, finely diced (any color)
- Olive oil for greasing muffin tin
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin with olive oil or use silicone liners to prevent the muffins from sticking.
2. Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Once grated, squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the batter is smooth and uniform.
4. Fold in the grated zucchini, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and diced bell pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Spoon the Zucchini Quiche Muffin batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about ¾ full.
6. Slide the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the Zucchini Quiche Muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them. Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
Notes
To store your Zucchini Quiche Muffins, allow them to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to 4 days. For longer-term storage, you can freeze the muffins for up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, simply reheat the muffins in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes, or until warmed through.
