Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • ½ cup milk

  3. In a separate bowl, combine the zucchini, Parmesan cheese, eggs, milk, and olive oil.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chives, if using.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about ⅔ full.

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

Notes

Serve warm with a dollop of cream cheese or a drizzle of olive oil. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
