These savory zucchini cheddar dinner muffins are moist, cheesy, and topped with crunchy everything bagel seasoning, perfect for dinners, brunch, or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups (about 2 medium) grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1 1/2 cups (170g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. Grate zucchini using medium holes of a box grater. Place grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
  4. In a medium bowl, beat eggs, then add Greek yogurt, melted butter, and milk. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Fold squeezed zucchini and shredded cheddar cheese into the wet ingredients.
  6. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined.
  7. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full.
  8. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of everything bagel seasoning on top of each muffin, pressing lightly to stick.
  9. Bake for 18–22 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  10. Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze zucchini well to avoid soggy muffins. Use sharp cheddar for best melt and flavor. Fold batter gently to keep muffins tender. Toast everything bagel seasoning lightly for extra crunch and nuttiness. Tent muffins with foil if browning too fast.
