Mini Zucchini Muffins

Yum, these zucchini muffins are a healthy addition to your kids lunchboxes or an after school snack!

Ingredients (makes 48 Mini Muffins)

3 Zucchini, coarsely grated
2 Rashers Bacon, finely chopped
1 Medium Onion, finely chopped
3/4 cup Self Raising Flour
3 Eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup Tasty Cheese, grated
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
30 ml Rice Bran Oil
Pinch Salt & Pepper

Method

Preheat oven to 200c. Lightly grease muffin trays.
Combine all ingredients, mixing well. Divide mixture evenly into muffin trays. Bake for approx. 40 mins (turning the trays at 20 mins), until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Turn out onto cooling rack.

Notes

You can also add other items such as grated carrot, feta etc as you please. I often substitute the bacon for ham (whatever I have in the fridge). I also use canola or sunflower oil instead of Rice Bran Oil - depending on what I have in the cupboard. Can be served hot or cold.

These look yummy. I’d probably add some roasted capsicum as well.
