  1. Prepare the Ingredients:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Grate the zucchini without squeezing out the moisture.
    • Finely dice the red capsicum, if using.
    • Grate the reduced-fat cheese.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the grated zucchini, diced red capsicum, and grated cheese. Mix well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the flour mixture to the zucchini mixture, stirring until just combined.
  4. Prepare the Muffin Tin:
    • Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or butter. If using butter, use a small amount to keep the points low.
  5. Fill the Muffin Tin:
    • Evenly distribute the batter among the 9 muffin cups.
  6. Bake the Muffins:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
