Zucchini Doughnut Puffs image

A "secret" recipe that my aunt gave my mother in 1983. My aunt was the kind of person who was a good cook but would hide her recipes from other women. Am guessing at how many puffs you might get from this. Mom says this is really good and popular with her lady friends.

BAKED ZUCCHINI PUFF CASSEROLE



Baked Zucchini Puff casserole image

A wonderful, easy crowd pleaser! Super simple and the texture is divine.

Provided by Deb Crane

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 c shredded zucchini
1 c bisquick baking mix (or other brand)
2/3 c chopped onion
1/2 c grated parmesan cheese, shredded
2 Tbsp chopped parsley (or dried, about 1 tablespoon)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp italian blend spices (or oregano)
2 large cloves garlic, minced
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 c vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. ( I like to mix the eggs,oil and Bisquick first and then add the rest of the ingredients for ease of blending) Mix very well. Pour mixture into a greased 8x8 baking pan. (or a 1 1/2 quart baking dish)
  • 2. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh zucchini: Fresh zucchini has a higher water content, which makes for a moister doughnut puff. If you're using older zucchini, grate it and squeeze out the excess water before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the doughnut puffs tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a well-seasoned doughnut pan: A well-seasoned doughnut pan will help the doughnut puffs release easily. If you don't have a doughnut pan, you can use a muffin tin, but the doughnut puffs may not be as round.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're baking the doughnut puffs, don't overcrowd the pan. Leave some space between each doughnut puff so that they have room to rise.
  • Cook the doughnut puffs until they're golden brown: The doughnut puffs are done cooking when they're golden brown. Insert a toothpick into the center of a doughnut puff. If it comes out clean, the doughnut puff is done.

Conclusion:

Zucchini doughnut puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of zucchini doughnut puffs that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give zucchini doughnut puffs a try. You won't be disappointed!
