Time 1h10m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, chopped
¼ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1 ½ cups shredded zucchini, squeezed dry
¼ cup chopped roasted red pepper
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup cornmeal

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh onions and red peppers will give your muffins the best flavor. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen or jarred ones, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the Muffin Cups Evenly: Fill each muffin cup evenly so that the muffins bake evenly. You can use an ice cream scoop to make this easier.
  • Bake the Muffins Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to tell if your muffins are done baking. A toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin should come out clean when the muffins are done.
  • Let the Muffins Cool Before Serving: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving so that they're easier to handle.

Conclusion:

These onion and red pepper corn muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With their combination of sweet and savory flavors, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying snack, give these onion and red pepper corn muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
