Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, chopped chard, grated cheddar cheese, diced onion, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
4. In another bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and olive oil together.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the zucchini mixture and stir until just combined. Pour in the egg mixture and mix until everything is well incorporated.
6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
