Savory Zucchini Muffins

Carol Food

Several years ago I shared a traditional sweet zucchini bread. As much as I like that, sometimes I want something different. Today’s recipe is a moist, savory muffin that’s perfect at breakfast, lunch, or dinner time. The muffins are filled with zucchini, onion, garlic, roasted red pepper, ground Parmesan. and sun-dried tomatoes. They’re vegetarian.

    1. Sorry – I have the same trouble sometimes visiting blogs from your neck of the woods – I have to do a search for whatever it is

  6. I have never tried making savory muffins before but these sound delicious. I can’t believe summer is almost over and I never once made zucchini bread or muffins!
