Have extra & carrots & zucchini? This is the PERFECT recipe for that.
I’ll be the first to admit I could never give up bread, or grains – oatmeal is our breakfast, and steel cut oats makes so easily in the Instant Pot it nearly makes it effortless for everyone to eat in the morning.
But these are great too – not just for mornings but also for mid-morning snacks, or light dinners with a salad.
Just a few days ago we grated up too many carrots for what we were making… and with a million muffins from the day before already made, I really didn’t really want to make MORE muffins.
So I grabbed zucchini from the fridge that we got in our CSA bag and figured it would be a great way to make mini frittata muffins – and they were AMAZINGLY easy!
One extra tip though – normally frittatas are made in one mass baking dish. If you are using the muffin tin, you will need to grease generously. Don’t skimp – or you will find your frittatas sticking to that pan and they will be hard to remove.
So grease grease grease – the more the better.
