I made these the other day in small muffin tins and they were so cute and so delicious. I am sure they would be just as good baked in regular muffin pans, but there is something extra scrumptious about bite-sized food.

I made lots of batter the first time I used the recipe so I did mini muffins and then an English cake disposable pan that I froze for later. We used it last week, I defrosted on Friday and warmed on the platta for a long time. It was delicious! My husband couldn't believe it was the same recipe as the muffin ones I had made about a month ago.
I came back to make it again this week
Thank you so much for leaving the comment and letting us know. So great to hear that it works well in all sizes and that it froze so well.
Do you think this recipe would work with almond flour?
Yes, I think that would be great.
Looks great! Happy Hanukkah!
Ok just tried an experiment turned this recipe into latkes https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/17223067b423435aa8bfce5b8e8b960dab8b04aeb8e6ef281012a1c041bf2a49.jpg
I made this for this Passover (2019). I found the batter was far too much for just 12 mini muffins and ended up putting it into a regular muffin tin. Even then, the recipe made 14. The end result was, of course, it required considerably more time to cook, 45-60 minutes. The flavor was excellent, the texture not too much. They didn’t hold well together and fell while cooling. Even so, of the double-batch I made, only 2 were left over. My only other issue was that they were quite oily/greasy. I’m going to try again, but reduce oil to 2 Tbls. I may also consider replacing matzah cake meal with potato flour as it tends to hold up a little better and it would then be gluten free.

No, but it should work fine. I have made them with a mix of zucchini and potato which was also great and didn’t need the flour.
I have and they were fantastic!! Requested again for this year,
Was the potato raw, grated like the zucchini or boiled/mashed?
Hi Tamar- have you ever made these with matzoh meal instead of flour for Pesach? Thanks!
Hi I am glad you have enjoyed, but I am sorry they are not coming out exactly right. I think it is related to the muffin tins you are using and the oven temperature. I find sometimes the disposable tins don’t get the bottom browned. When that happens, sometimes I take them out and cook longer on a sheet pan once they can hold their shape, but most of the time even with the tin pans they work, maybe try increasing the oven temp about 50 degrees.
I have made these and my somewhat picky family really enjoyed these!
I made these twice. Once in smaller size and once in muffin size pans. However, with both sizes and each time I made them the bottoms never seemed fully cooked and wouldn’t hold together. HELP! Can you give me some advise? Cooking it longer didn’t help.
I have never tried it, but I think they would work.
Can these be frozen? Thanks so much!
I made this last night for shabbos, and it was a big hit! I found it a little greasy, so I would cut down a bit on the oil, but overall, it was delicious! I will definitely be making this again. Thanks!
I made these for Shabbat and found that you need LOTS more eggs (4) to help hold it together. I also found that it needed more cooking time (1 hour). The taste was good and my guests enjoyed them.
Thanks and I had a cute picture to post but I must have deleted it 🙁 To answer your question – no boiling first, but it should say grated.
The recipe looks delicious – but I was curious do you boil the zucchini first? The recipe directions do not indicate one way or another ….
