Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 cup grated zucchini
• 1 cup shredded carrot
• 0.5 cups chopped red bell pepper
• 0.5 cups chopped onion
• 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.75 cups milk
• 0.25 cups olive oil
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Fold the grated zucchini, shredded carrot, chopped red bell pepper, chopped onion, and grated Parmesan cheese into the dry ingredients. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly in the flour mixture.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, olive oil, egg, and chopped parsley until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy but uniformly moist.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
