Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉/177℃. Line a muffin tray with liners.
In a small bowl, stir together the dry ingredients: cornmeal, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and avocado oil. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ones. Stir until just mixed.
Fold in the frozen vegetables and most of the cheddar cheese, reserving some to sprinkle on top of the muffins.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tray, dividing it evenly among the cavities. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top of the muffins.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let the muffins cool for a few minutes, and enjoy!

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
To freeze, let them cool completely. Wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap, foil, or beeswax wraps. Place in a freezer-safe bag or container, seal, label, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight or directly from frozen in the microwave. Remove the wrapping and heat in 20- to 30-second intervals until warmed through.
