While many muffins don’t pack enough nutrients to make a complete breakfast on their own, this recipe for healthy muffins is a great grab-and-go choice. Made with Cabot Whey Protein, a mix of all-purpose white flour and white whole wheat flour, zucchini, chives, onions, milk, eggs, Cabot Sharp Cheddar cheese and seasonings, these muffins contain a healthy combination of carbohydrates, protein and fat, providing you with the fuel you need to start your day.

To make 48 mini zucchini cheese muffins, preheat your oven to 325°F. Oil or spray 2 mini muffin pans.

Combine the all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, Cabot Whey Protein, baking powder, salt, black pepper, dill, thyme and minced onions in a large mixing bowl. Stir until thoroughly combined.

Whisk milk, eggs and olive oil in a separate bowl.

Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry mixture and stir until combined, being careful not to over stir.

Mix grated zucchini, chopped chives and Cabot Sharp Cheddar cheese (you can also use Cabot Sharp Shredded Cheddar cheese if you don’t have time to grate) together in a bowl. Then fold into the muffin mixture and stir well.

Spoon batter into the oiled muffin pans, filling just below the surface and tap batter with a spoon so there are no high peaks.

Bake for 20 minutes until the tops start to turn golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let muffins rest in the muffin tins for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack or plate.

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
