Ingredients
  

For the Muffins:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup cornmeal

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup grated zucchini (squeezed to remove excess water)

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

2 large eggs

1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice)

⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted butter

¼ cup honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

For the Filling:

1 cup shredded cooked chicken or turkey (optional)

½ cup cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon honey (optional for sweetness)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh arugula or spinach for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a standard muffin tin by greasing it or using paper liners.

      Combine Dry Ingredients:

        In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

          Mix Wet Ingredients:

            In another bowl, mix the grated zucchini, corn kernels, eggs, buttermilk, oil, and honey (if using) until well combined.

              Combine Mixtures:

                Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.

                  Bake the Muffins:

                    Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

                      Prepare the Filling:

                        In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded chicken or turkey (if using), cream cheese, dill, lemon juice, honey (if desired), salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

                          Assemble the Sandwiches:

                            Once the muffins are completely cool, slice them in half horizontally. Spread a generous layer of the chicken filling on the bottom half of each muffin. Top with fresh arugula or spinach, and then place the other half of the muffin on top to create a sandwich.

                              Serve:

                                Enjoy these sandwiches right away, or wrap them up for a delicious lunch on the go!
