How to Make Zucchini Cheese Muffins

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup grated cheddar cheese, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 cup grated zucchini (squeeze out excess moisture), 1 large egg, ½ cup milk (any kind), ¼ cup melted unsalted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
