ZUCCHINI CORNBREAD MUFFINS

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium zucchini
2 teaspoons coarse salt, divided
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more, room temperature, for baking pan
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (for a fluffier cornbread, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda)
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Shred zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. (You should have about 4 cups.) Toss with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a colander set over a bowl. Let stand 10 minutes. Squeeze out excess moisture with your hands.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush a standard 12-cup muffin tin with softened unsalted butter. In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda (if using), and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, butter, and eggs (mixture might appear curdled). Add to flour mixture and stir just until combined (do not overmix). Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh zucchini and corn will give your muffins the best flavor and texture.
  • Grate the zucchini finely: This will help to distribute the moisture evenly throughout the muffins.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing will result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature: These muffins are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These zucchini cornbread muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, snack, or side dish. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you have some fresh zucchini and corn on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
