Side Dish
Vegan Quinoa Zucchini Frittata Muffins
Enhance the recipe with nutritional yeast, a popular vegan alternative known for its rich, savory, and slightly nutty flavor that closely mimics cheese. Nutritional yeast is nutrient-dense, often fortified with B vitamins (including B12), and provides protein and fiber, making it both a flavorful and nutrient-dense addition. Sprinkle it over dishes or mix it into sauces for a cheesy boost without dairy. Storage: Meal Prep Tip: Double the recipe to make 24 muffins and store them for a quick, nutritious breakfast throughout the week. Store muffins in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. For longer storage, transfer to a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 20–30 seconds or in the oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes. Health Benefits: References: Healthline. Nutritional Yeast: Benefits, Nutrition, and How to Use It.

01Preheat the oven to 375°F. 2. Rinse quinoa thoroughly and cook according to package instructions. Set aside to cool slightly. 3. Grate zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture. 4. Create a flaxseed “egg”: Combine 4 tbsp of ground flaxseed with 10 tbsp of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens and forms a gel-like consistency. 5. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked quinoa, grated zucchini, flaxseed “egg” mixture (after thickening), garlic powder, salt, pepper, and non-dairy yogurt. Mix until well combined. 6. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with oil spray or use paper liners. 7. Spoon mixture evenly into all 12 muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full. 8. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until muffins are slightly golden on top. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. 9. Serve warm or store for later.
