Ingredients

  • 1 cup grated zucchini (squeeze out excess moisture)

  • 6 large eggs

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)

  • 2 tbsp milk (or almond milk)

  • 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp chili flakes (optional for extra zest)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray

Instructions of Zesty Zucchini Egg Muffins:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

  2. Whisk the eggs, milk, garlic powder, chili flakes, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until they blend smoothly.

  3. Mix in the zucchini, bell pepper, and cheese until the ingredients combine evenly.

  4. Pour the mixture into the muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full so they have room to rise.

  5. Bake for 18–20 minutes until the muffins set and turn lightly golden on top.

  6. Cool the muffins for a few minutes, then lift them out of the tin. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
