Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners. -
Grate the Vegetables
Grate the potatoes and zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place them in a clean towel and squeeze out excess moisture to ensure the muffins aren’t soggy. -
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. -
Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil (or melted butter), and milk. -
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Add the grated potatoes and zucchini to the wet ingredients. Stir to combine, then add this mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. -
Add Mozzarella
Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese. -
Fill Muffin Tin
Spoon the mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. -
Bake
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. -
-
Cool and Serve
Let the muffins cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Squeeze as much moisture as possible from the zucchini and potatoes to prevent the muffins from becoming soggy.
- You can add other seasonings like paprika, thyme, or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
- These muffins are great for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
