Ingredients

• Dry Ingredients:
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup oat flour
• 1/2 cup yellow corn flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• Wet Ingredients:
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup milk of choice
• A little over 1/4 cup yogurt
• 1/8 cup olive oil
• Vegetables:
• 2 zucchinis, shredded
• 1 carrot, shredded
• 1/2 red pepper, diced
• 1-2 green onions, chopped
• Cheese:
• 1-2 slices red cheddar, sliced into thin strips

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Prepare the Vegetables: Place the shredded zucchini and carrot in a clean tea towel and squeeze out excess moisture. This step is crucial for preventing soggy muffins.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, yogurt, and olive oil. Whisk until well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients (whole wheat flour, oat flour, corn flour, baking powder, thyme, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper).
5. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Add Vegetables and Cheese: Fold in the shredded zucchini, carrot, diced red pepper, chopped green onions, and thin strips of cheddar cheese into the batter.
7. Prepare Muffin Tin: Scoop the muffin batter into a silicone muffin mold or a greased muffin tin.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a fork inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Enjoy warm or store in the freezer for later!
