12 servings

  • nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pinch sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk, 1 cup (240 ml) milk mixed with 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, or olive oil
  • 1 cup zucchini, shredded
  • 1 cup carrot, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus more for topping
  • ¼ cup chives, thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
  • Make the batter: In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, and sugar. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and butter.
  • Add the zucchini, carrot, cheddar cheese, and chives the egg mixture and stir to combine.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and fold to combine, being careful not to overmix.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, divide the batter between the muffin cups, filling almost completely.
  • Sprinkle more cheddar cheese on top of the muffins.
  • Bake for 18 minutes, rotating the muffin tin halfway through baking, until browned on top and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before removing the muffins from the tin. Serve or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Enjoy!
