Savory Zucchini Muffins

These are so good, I’d make these muffins whether I was on a diet or not. 

Ingredients

Sneak In Zucchini and Nobody Will Know

So, for some odd reason, some people aren’t crazy about zucchini.

Personally, I really like zucchini!

Honestly though, you really don’t even taste the zucchini in these muffins.

So, if you want to sneak in some veggies to your loved ones with this recipe, they will never know the difference.

Your secret is safe with me!

Savory Zucchini Muffins Are Easy to Make and Delicious

These muffins were absolute heaven!

They’re hearty and totally hit the spot when you’re hungry for a good solid breakfast.

And they’re the perfect recipe to bake on a Sunday morning so that you can save the leftovers for busy weekday mornings.

Or, if you want them hot and fresh out of the oven, prepare in advance by chopping the onions and zucchini the night before and store them in the refrigerator.

Then the morning you make the muffins, just mix in the remaining ingredients and bake.

The egg, cheese, and onion are the strongest flavors in these delicious muffins.

They were the perfect combination!

Use Fresh Basil and Reduce the Salt

One tip I have is to not tweak the recipe like I did and use dried basil.

Unfortunately, when I bit into the muffins, I could barely taste the dried basil that I used as a substitute.

Using fresh basil is key to getting the optimal fresh taste in your muffins.

Also, be careful with the salt.

The recipe calls for kosher salt.

I didn’t have kosher salt, so I used table salt.

However, 1 teaspoon of table salt was a little bit too much.

Next time I will reduce it to 3/4 teaspoon of table salt.

These savory zucchini muffins were a hit with my husband.

He absolutely loved them!

Refrigerate Leftovers

Whatever we had leftover, I stored in the refrigerator and just heated a few up throughout the rest of the week for breakfast.

You can also store your leftover muffins in a muffin/cupcake keeper.

    • Hi Jennifer, these muffins would be 3 WW SmartPoints per muffin. Typically WW recipes with PPV are one extra point with SmartPoints. Thanks! Pam
