Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup zucchini shredded (about 1 medium zucchini or 2 small)
  • 1 cup carrot grated (about 2 carrots)
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup cheddar shredded (or similar). [Tip: You can also sprinkle a little extra shredded cheese on top of the muffins in the last minutes of baking if you choose to.]
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line a muffin tin with muffin liners. Spray liners with baking spray (I find these muffins tend to stick to my nonstick muffin liners so I opt to spray them a bit to prevent this).
  • Grate zucchini and carrots and squeeze out excess water (from the zucchini. I do this by placing the grated zucchini in a cheese cloth or paper towel and squeezing out the liquid).
  • In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, fresh dill, fresh rosemary and salt and mix together.
  • Mix in the veggies and the remaining ingredients until the muffin batter comes together.
  • Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each muffin cup 3/4 full. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Optional: If you wish to make these extra cheesy, sprinkle a little extra grated cheese over the top of the muffins in the last 5 minutes of baking for a nice melty, cheesy top.
