We didn’t want anything sweet, but zucchini still was looking sadly at me. So I had to do something. Decided to make these muffins because they looked perfect for a snack. I felt a little bit too much basil, and my hubby sad that he misses ham inside 🙂 But the savory taste was like a hook, so I won”t take long to make them again.
Zucchini basil muffins
Time needed:
Yields: 24 regular size muffins, or 48 mini muffins
Ingredients:
1 cup = 237 ml
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1 Tbs. baking powder
- 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini)
- 2 Tbs. finely julienned fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan or any other type cheese
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/425°F.
- Make ready the muffin tins, by buttering them if they are not non-stick.
- Combine the eggs, milk and oil in a large bowl.
- Combine the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in another bowl and add to the liquid mixture in batches, stirring to blend.
- Add the zucchini and basil and stir to blend.
- Fill each muffin cup about 1/2 full.
- Sprinkle the top with the cheese.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes for regular size muffins, 15-20 minutes for the mini muffins, until the tops are golden brown and puffy.
- Serve while still warm. You can freeze these and pop them in a toaster oven for a few minutes for a great snack (but didn’t try it yet).

Tortilla
We just love tortillas. I tried this recipe more than once. Every time disappears very quickly, because my kids and me just eat them warm plain. My hubby doesn’t adore pastry, but he enjoys eating tortillas with some filling. So I really recommend to try – it’s simple, quick and better one hundred time than store bought.
Bread sticks with paprika and sesame
Very good snack. Kids came from the kinder-garden and ate only these sticks till none was left. I had to hide some for photo session. I baked them already two times. The first time I rolled sticks in sesame seeds, but the next day I had joy cleaning all house with vacuum-cleaner from the seeds 🙂 The next time I put sesame seeds inside the dough and it was more practical and the taste didn’t differ very much.
Salads with cheese and garlic
It was real experiment 🙂 Till now we didn’t try salads with cheese. And the dressing is with raw egg. To feel more save, I poured over an egg boiling water and took it out only after a few seconds. Then when I poured prepared dressing over salads it looked too much of it, but when we mixed everything it was really good. So if you like garlic and new flavours – try this 🙂
Pizza dough with baking powders
This pizza dough is for those who always don’t have time to prepare pizza dough with yeast. It helped me several times, when I suddenly understood that I want pizza for Friday night and there was no pizza dough with yeast frozen in a freezer. My family liked it also and I’m very happy about that 🙂
Omelette with zucchini
Today I say that everyone who wants light dinner, or solid breakfast should make this omelette with zucchini.
