Ingredients
-
2 medium zucchinis, grated
-
1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
-
2 large eggs
-
1/4 cup almond flour (or all-purpose flour)
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for greasing the muffin tin)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or use liners.
-
Prep the Zucchini: Grate zucchinis and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean towel or paper towels to prevent soggy muffins.
-
Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine zucchini, shredded chicken, cheddar, Parmesan, eggs, flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully combined.
-
Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling nearly to the top.
-
Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until muffins are golden brown and firm to the touch.
-
Cool and Serve: Let muffins cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm or store for later.
Notes
-
Swap almond flour with all-purpose flour for a non-gluten-free version.
-
Add paprika or chili flakes for a spicy kick.
-
Great for freezing and reheating!
