Instructions

For the full instructions see the recipe card at the bottom.
Stir together all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Add the wet ingredients.
Stir together until just combined, do not over mix!
Fold in the veggies and shredded vegan cheese.
Divide the batter evenly in the prepared muffin pan.
Top with some seeds if desired and bake in the oven.
Let the muffins cool down in the muffin pan for about 15 min, then gently remove them. Enjoy these savoury muffins warm or at room temperature.
Hint:
The batter will be very thick before the vegetables are added. The carrot and the zucchini will release a lot of liquid when baked.
No need to squeeze out the liquid out of the zucchini before adding it to the batter.
Substitutions
If you know how to make the recipe fit a certain diet, let the reader know here. Don’t fake it – only provide guidance on topics you have actual experience with.
- Flour – instead of white whole wheat flour, you can use normal whole week flour or all purpose flour.
- Seeds – I used a mix of seeds, but only one type of seeds can be used. The hemp seeds can also be replaced by mixed seeds.
- Vegetables – I used a mix of grated zucchini and carrot for these savoury muffins, either all zucchini or all carrot can also be used.
- Cheese – This vegan savoury muffin recipe uses shredded vegan cheese, but it can also be omitted or replaced with vegan feta cheese or 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast.
Variations
Here are some ideas to put your own twist on these savory veggie muffins.
- Herbs – Add some fresh chopped herbs like basil, oregano, dill or parsley to enhance the flavour.
- Veggies – add some more veggies like a little chopped fresh spinach or red peppers.
These savoury vegan muffins tasted amazing lightly toasted and topped with some Pesto Hummus.

Top tip
Don’t over mix the batter! Only stir until just combined then fold in the veggies for the best result. The batter will be very thick before the vegetables are added. Don’t worry, the carrot and the zucchini will release a lot of liquid when baked for added moisture.
It is very important to grease the muffin tin well, or use paper liners. Otherwise they will stick to the pan!
I like to heat up these vegan vegetable muffins and serve them with some vegan butter or even some homemade guacamole for a filling snack or even light lunch with some protein packed Red Lentil Salad.
