Tips:
- Use fresh zucchini: Fresh zucchini has a higher water content, which makes the muffins moist. If you use older zucchini, you may need to drain off some of the excess water before using it.
- Shred the zucchini finely: This will help to distribute the zucchini evenly throughout the muffins and prevent them from being too chunky.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly without overflowing.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help to create a golden brown crust and prevent the muffins from being too dense.
Conclusion:
Zucchini cheddar muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or breakfast item. They are perfect for using up leftover zucchini, and they can be made ahead of time and frozen. With their moist texture, cheesy flavor, and beautiful golden brown crust, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
