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).

Sour milk muffins
Weekend 🙂 and at last I had time carefully to look what’s in a fridge 🙂 And my eyes saw sour milk that will spoil very quickly if I won’t do anything. So I remembered not so long ago published Bea sour milk muffins. There was no time to think – just do. And now I’m sitting happy and satisfied with a cup of tea:)
Soda bread
Somehow I forget to set my breadmaker to bake the bread or remember only very late in the evening. If there was no bread the next day my hubby would be starving 🙂 So I had to do something. And have to say that hubby very liked the bread with cheese.
Layered cheese and beetroot salads
Very delicious salads. Sad that photo doesn’t present the real taste.
Chocolate cake with apples
This recipe waited for a year because last year somehow I was late – apples were gone, and I didn’t want to buy them. So this year this is my first (and the only) apple cake. And it was a really good cake! I baked only half of the recipe, but I got only one slice – my kids ate almost half of it at once. I could treat my parents only with the small slices… The cake is very moist and in reality it looks better than in the book. And I won’t judge my photos 🙂
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
These muffins are really good, because they are very moist, not very sweet and of course – they are with chocolate! My kids just love them and at one time ate almost everything (my hubby helped them a little bit 🙂 ). So we agreed that we will repeat very soon.
