I love having a garden in our backyard. There is something so satisfying about being able to just walk outside and pick your own fresh produce. Over the last few weeks, we’ve grown more zucchini then we know what to do with. It’s not exactly a bad problem to have, but it has left me scrambling for ways to use it all. We’ve had faux fried zucchini, zucchini banana bread, and I have plans to make these zucchini meatballs and this zucchini lasagna! My kids have a tendency to inhale mini muffins when I make them, so in an effort to use up some of the zucchini we have at the moment I threw together these chocolate zucchini protein mini muffins the other day and since they were a cinch to make I thought I’d share what I did.
Chocolate Zucchini Protein Mini Muffins
Ingredients:
1 box Kodiak Cakes Double Dark Chocolate Muffin Mix
2 eggs
1 cup of milk
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
2 cups of shredded zucchini, drained (I do not peel mine before shredding)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees, and spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine Kodiak Muffin mix, eggs, milk, and vegetable oil and stir until combined.
- Fold in the zucchini until it is distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon a generous Tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup.
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes.
Hello, I attempted to make this recipe and the batter was unusable. I even tried to salvage it by looking at another similar recipe with no luck. Are you sure a whole box of Kodiak mix is used in this recipe or is it supposed to be just one cup of mix? A whole box of Kodiak mix is about 3 cups and that just seems too much mix for the rest of the ingredients. Please advise. Thank you!
