Cheddar Basil Zucchini Muffins

Zucchini Rocks!

I totally MEAN it! I love eating those zucchinis while I was growing up. I decided to stop at the Wagner's Farm Market here in New Mexico and spot the huge zucchinis. I couldn't believe that 4 HUGE zucchinis for just a dollar- what a sweet price to pay those.

I decided to come up with a few dishes with zucchini and something really healthy to enjoy.

I came up the idea of making the zucchini muffins and why not to add the cheddar and basil to make it more burst flavors.

I had made those and it came out very delish. It would be great with butter or any kind of spreads you like on your muffins since it's not much high sugar which it's perfect. I had that for breakfast with nice cup of iced chai or hot tea. You can even enjoy it with a cup of coffee or any choice of juice.

It's really simple and easy to make :D..

Ingredients:
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
2/3 cup vegetable or canola oil
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon basil, finely chopped
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 cups grated zucchini
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Mix it all up and pour into the muffin cup or pan -whatever it works out best for you. Sprinkle some ground cinnamon on the top before baking for little bit sweeter if you want to! :)

Bake it at 425 degree for 20 to 25 minutes. Insert the knife to see if it comes out clean then it's all ready to cool it off..

Enjoy this! :)

  1. Yuuummm! This looks so good. I think the only zucchini I've had were in a bread (similar to banana bread) and in chocolate cake. This is the first time I've seen a savory cheesecake instead of a sweet one. It looks unique and wonderful! :-)
