Ingredients

2 large eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 1/2 cups white flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini)
2 tablespoons finely julienned fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (or similar hard grating) or 1/2 cup grana padano (or similar hard grating)

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 200\u00b0C/425\u00b0F
Grease muffin tins.
Combine the eggs, milk and oil in a large bowl. Combine the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in another bowl and add to the liquid mixture in batches, stirring to blend. Don't overblend!
Add the zucchini and basil and stir to blend.
Fill each muffin cup about 1/2 full. Sprinkle the top with the cheese.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes for regular size muffins, 15-20 minutes for the mini muffins, until the tops are golden brown and puffy.
Serve while still warm.
