Here’s the Parmesan Zucchini Potato Muffins recipe rewritten as a vegan dish, including updated nutrition information:
Vegan Zucchini Potato Muffins
Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 2 medium potatoes, grated
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (or use a gluten-free flour blend if needed)
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast (as a substitute for Parmesan cheese)
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tbsp water (flax eggs)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- Vegan sour cream and chopped chives, for garnish
Directions:
- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Remove Excess Moisture:
- Place the grated zucchini and potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, flour, nutritional yeast, and baking powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare Flax Eggs:
- In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water. Let sit for about 5 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency.
- Mix and Fill:
- Stir in the flax eggs and vegetable oil until the mixture is well combined.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake:
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Serve warm, topped with a dollop of vegan sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped chives.
