Step-by-Step Instructions for Zucchini Puffs

Whisk together flour, baking powder, and Italian seasoning in a large mixing bowl.
In another bowl, whisk egg and milk, then pour into dry ingredients and fold gently.
Fold in shredded cheddar cheese and grated zucchini until just combined.
Spoon mixture into muffin pan, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
