This is a basic muffin recipe that uses Bisquick Baking Mix, which is a pre-mixed combination of flour, baking powder, salt and either butter or oil. Just like my Cake Mix Recipe Hacks, using Bisquick is another easy way to start a recipe.

One of the most popular recipes on the blog are Zucchini Puffs. I receive emails and comments all the time asking if they can make this recipe using Bisquick Baking Mix.

Well, I’m happy to announce that I finally have Bisquick Zucchini Cheddar Muffins ready to share with you. And let me tell you, these muffin are delicious! I made these as a full size regular muffin, but you can definitely use a mini muffin pan if you prefer.

Ingredients for Bisquick Zucchini Cheddar Muffins

Directions

Using either a box grater or plank grater, grate the zucchini. A medium zucchini should yield about a cup of grated zucchini. There’s no need to peel the zucchini either; unless it’s something you prefer.

In a medium bowl, combine the Bisquick Baking Mix with the egg, melted butter, milk and grated zucchini. Stir with a wooden spoon until everything is combined.

Easy Baking Tips

Baking Tip: If you use paper muffin liners, try spraying them with non-stick baking spray before adding the batter. The paper liners will peel off easily after the puffs have baked.

I use this tip when baking all muffin and cupcake recipes such as Cheesecake Cupcakes and Homemade Blueberry Muffins.

Spray muffin liners with non-stick cooking spray so the muffins don't stick.

Divide the muffin batter evenly among the muffin cups that have been lined with paper muffin liners, filling two-thirds full. I find that a large cookie scoop helps ensure the muffins are filled evenly.

Baking Instructions

Bake in a pre-heated 375 degree oven for 15 – 18 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. My muffins took exactly 17 minutes to bake.

Allow the muffins to cool for about 5 minutes before placing them on a rack to finish cooling and enjoying.

Look how nice the paper liners peel away without taking any of the muffin with them. Perfect to serve and enjoy!

How to Freeze Muffins

Once the muffins have cooled, place them on a baking tray that’s been lined with parchment paper. Place the baking tray in the freezer to flash freeze the muffins.

After about 30 minutes you can remove the muffins from the tray to a freezer-safe plastic bag or air-tight container.

Frequently Asked Recipe Questions

Do you peel zucchini for muffins?

There’s no need to peel the zucchini for this recipe. In fact, I like the green specs of zucchini throughout the muffins.

How many zucchinis is 1 cup grated?

For the 1 cup of grated zucchini this recipe calls for, you’ll need about a medium-sized zucchini.

Do I need to squeeze the excess water out of the zucchini?

I used garden-fresh zucchini which tends to have a lot more moisture than a store-bought zucchini. However, I didn’t squeeze the excess water out of the zucchini once it was grated. You want some of that water to add moisture to the muffins.
If you find that there is a ton of water collecting as you grate the zucchini, then yes, add the zucchini to a paper towel and lightly squeeze the excess water out.

    Any idea how you would adapt this to use Gluten-free Bisquick? I would guess it is not a one for one swap.
    Thanks.

      I sent you an email. I have never used gluten-free Bisquick, so I can’t answer this question. Sorry!
