Summary

Pillowy-soft, cheesy zucchini muffins infused with garlic butter, scallions, sharp cheddar, and Parmesan for a deeply savory, tender crumb. A quick one-bowl bake that’s moist without squeezing the zucchini, ideal warm with a pat of butter and flaky salt.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick liners or lightly spray with oil.

  2. 2

    In a large heat-safe bowl, combine the butter and minced garlic. Microwave on low power in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the butter is melted.

  3. 3

    Whisk in eggs, milk, fine sea salt, and black pepper until smooth. Stir in the shredded zucchini and minced scallions until evenly combined.

  4. 4

    Add the all-purpose flour and baking powder; stir until the flour is halfway incorporated. Add the shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan, then stir just until the batter is combined (it will be thick).

  5. 5

    Divide batter among 12 muffin cups (about 1/4 cup each, mounded). Bake 5 minutes at 425°F, then without removing the pan, reduce oven to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking until golden and a toothpick comes out clean, about 20 minutes more. Cool 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
