Carrot and Zucchini Muffins... Week 4... 4/5

So we have zucchinis coming out our ears... I am always looking for something to do with them, may as well utilise what you have rather than buy more ingredients.  

These are delicious!  They are sweet, moist and somewhat healthier than the banana, choc chip muffins we cooked mid week.  The only reason I haven't given them a 5/5 is that I quite like biting into a muffin with a bit of texture, whether it be blueberries, chocolate, walnuts etc.

These were super easy to make, requiring no mixer, only a good forearm to only just combine the ingredients.

Here goes...

Ingredients.

2c self raising flour
2/3c raw sugar
1tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 grated carrot
3/4c grated zucchini
100g butter - melted
2 eggs - lightly beaten before being added
1/2 to 3/4 c milk - depending on consistency

1. Preheat oven to 180 c.  Grease muffin tins.
2. Sift flour into a large bowl, add raw sugar and cinnamon.
3. Add grated zucchini and carrot and combine with hands.
4. In separate bowl combine lightly beaten eggs to melted (and slightly cooled) butter, add milk.
5. Add wet ingredients to dry, adding a little extra milk if needed.
6. Spoon into muffin tin and bake 20 - 25 minutes depending on your oven.
7. Remove from tins and cool.  Serve warm with butter!
