zucchini cheese muffins test and yes please!


ORIGINAL RECIPE - bring out the scale

  • 300g all-purpose flour (sub 200 g almond flour for gf )
  • 4 tsp (15g) baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 180g grated cheese - used cheddar, mozzarella, manchego  
  • 250g grated zucchini, skin on and no need to squeeze the liquid - used a thicker grater and work great.
  • 40g finely chopped onion
  • 220g milk -used 1/2 & 1/2 but alt milk should work as well
  • 2 large eggs (100g not including the shell)
  • Flaky salt and pepper for the tops of the muffins
  • Thyme - few sprigs
  • 2-3 tsp chia and flax seeds 
  • handful pumpkin seeds - or any other seed sunflower, hemp etc
  • handful sliced almonds and or other nuts pecan/walnut etc
I added to the batter fresh thyme, chia & flax seeds. 

I topped the muffins with a mix of sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, brown sugar and flaky salt

Baked at 350ºF for 25 minutes

--------------------------------------
Sift dry ingredients together. 

Toss the cheese, thyme  onion, and zucchini into the flower.

Mix the liquid of choice and eggs together then pour into the dry mix to combine - DO NOT OVER MIX

This will be a thick batter.

Place the batter into a lined muffin tray then a dd the toppings on the muffins and bake at 350ºF 

I tested 15 minutes, 20 minutes and 25 minutes 

15 and 20 were still to soft on top and 25 minute was firm to the touch and perfect inside.
