Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup shredded zucchini or yellow squash (squeezed very dry and packed tightly to. measure; from about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or cornmeal)
  • 2 eggs (lightly beaten)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 and grease a mini muffin tin well with nonstick spray.
  • Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix well to combine. Fill prepared muffin tin with batter, using about 1 tablespoon in each.
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to brown and the tops are firm to the touch.
  • Remove from oven and let sit for a minute. Use a paring knife to help loosen the edges of the muffins if needed. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • To store: Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container. Store in a zip top freezer bag with as much air removed as possible in the freezer for up to 3 months. Warm in 15 second increments in the microwave or thaw overnight in the fridge.
  • Gluten-free: Use gluten-free cup for cup flour or cornmeal.
  • To prevent sticking, grease your pan well with nonstick spray and use a paring knife to loosen the edges about a minute after pulling them out of the oven.
  • Trade in yellow squash, grated carrot, grated sweet potato, or finely chopped broccoli for the zucchini.
  • Add a few tablespoons crisp cooked bacon or diced ham if desired.
  • Add 1/2 teaspoon cumin, pizza seasoning, or Italian seasoning for extra flavor if desired.
  • Serve with a dip of ketchup, salsa, ranch, or guacamole.
