Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Cornmeal
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 cups Zucchini, shredded and squeezed dry
• 1 cups Corn kernels, fresh or frozen (thawed)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the milk and melted butter until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the shredded zucchini, corn kernels, and cheddar cheese (if using). Make sure the zucchini has been thoroughly squeezed of excess moisture before adding.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 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 at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
