Courgette muffins recipe

Ingredients

  • 50g courgette, cut into chunks
  • 1 apple, peeled and quartered
  • 1 orange, halved
  • 1 egg
  • 75g butter, melted
  • 300g self-raising flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 100g golden caster sugar
  • handful of sultanas
  • 1 tub soft cheese mixed with 3 tbsp icing sugar, to make icing

Method

  • Brush the muffin tin with oil. Ask your grown-up helper to switch the oven to 190C/ 170C fan/gas 5.

  • Grate the courgettes and put them in a large bowl. Grate the apple and add to the bowl. Squeeze the orange and add the juice to the bowl.

  • Break the egg into a bowl; if any bits of shell get in, scoop them out with a spoon. Stir the butter and egg into the courgette and apple mix.

  • Sieve the flour, baking powder and cinnamon into the bowl. Add the sugar and sultanas.

  • Mix with a spoon until everything is combined, but don’t worry if it is lumpy.

  • Spoon the mixture into the tin. Ask your helper to put it in the oven and cook for 20-25 mins. Cool in the tin, then spread some icing on each.
