Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 cup shredded unpeeled zucchini
• 4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 cup butter, melted
• 0.25 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.75 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.

Step 3

Stir milk, zucchini, butter, egg, and garlic together in a separate bowl until well blended. Mix flour mixture into milk mixture, ½ cup at a time, stirring well after each addition, until the flour mixture is incorporated. Fold in Cheddar, Parmesan, and crumbled bacon: pour batter into the prepared muffin cups.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool slightly before removing from muffin cups. Serve warm; refrigerate leftovers.
