Ingredients
Ingredients for about 9 muffins
  • 7 ounces (200g) of courgette (zucchini), raw, approximately 1
  • 2.4 fluid ounces (70ml) of kefir
  • 1 free-range egg
  • 1.8 ounces (50g) of your favorite sweetener
  • zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 7 ounces (200g) of plain flour (all-purpose flour)
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
Instructions

Start by grating the courgette (zucchini). Use a cloth to squeeze the water out. Transfer the grated courgette to a bowl and add the wet ingredients. Mix well. In another bowl, mix the flour and the baking powder, then add them to the wet bowl. You will get a pretty elastic dough. Spoon some of the mixture into muffin/cupcake cases and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) for about 20 minutes.

Tips
  • Add a lemon glaze on top of the muffins for a sweeter touch. Simply mix icing sugar with lemon juice and pour it on top. Here, the kids asked for it 😁
