Instructions
Creating Cheesy Courgette Muffins is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
2. Prepare Courgette: Grate the courgette and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean cloth or paper towel.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk and vegetable oil until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Add Courgette and Cheese: Gently fold in the grated courgette and shredded cheese until evenly distributed.
7. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with fresh herbs for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
