Recipe | Easy to make Courgette and cheese Muffins

After dropping Oliver off at playschool, Mark and I decided to take Arthur out. We decided to head to one of our favourite local farms. Hill Farm Pick Your Own is only about 5 minutes away from our house. We couldn’t wait to take him to go and pick our own sweetcorn and courgettes.

Courgettes are probably one of the only vegetables that I really enjoy eating. However, I am the only one in my family that do! So when I picked the courgettes up from Hill Farm Pick Your Own, I knew that I needed to come up with something special to try and encourage the boys to eat them. Whilst we were at the farm, I noticed a recipe of theirs to make Courgette and Cheese Muffins. It sounded like the ideal way to get them to eat the courgettes. So I thought I would share the recipe with you.

Ingredients

• 300g of grated courgettes
• 100g of grated mature cheddar cheese
• 1 large egg
• 90ml of rapeseed oil
• 200ml of Natural yogurt
• 1tsp Baking Powder
• 8oz of self raising flour

Method

• Preheat the oven to 180c
• In one bowl mix the cheese, courgette, egg, yogurt and oil.
• In another bowl mix the flour and baking powder.
• Pour the flour/baking powder mix into the other bowl and stir until its stiff.

 

 

  

Divide the mixture into 12 muffin cases (as you can see we didn’t have muffin cases so used cupcake cases. We also made a lot more than 12!) The recipe was really easy to follow, completely fool proof.
