How to make Cheese Zucchini Muffins

To make these tasty muffins, first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Next, prepare your muffin tray by greasing it with butter and lightly dusting it with flour, or grease and  use paper cups.

Now, take a bowl and whisk together the dry ingredients, which are flour, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, mix the eggs with buttermilk and melted butter. Combine this mixture with the dry ingredients, stirring them together.

Afterward, add in the grated cheese and grated zucchini to the mixture.

Spoon this mixture into the muffin cups. For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle some grated cheese and freshly ground black pepper on top.

Pop your muffin tray into the oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the muffins turn a lovely golden brown.

Once they’re done, you’ll have some delicious Cheesy Zucchini Muffins ready to enjoy!
