These muffins are wonderfully moist, cheesy, and loaded with colourful veggies. They're perfect for both kids and adults and a smart solution to use up leftover vegetables. The recipe is flexible—change the herbs or cheese to keep things interesting every time you bake them!

Ingredients

  • 1 grated courgette (zucchini)
  • 1 grated potato
  • 1 grated carrot
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tea cup grated cheese (mozzarella or parmesan work well)
  • 1 tea cup wheat flour
  • 1/2 tea cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: herbs of your choice (parsley, chives, basil, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare your muffin tin by greasing or using paper liners.
  2. Squeeze the grated courgette and potato in a clean towel to remove excess liquid. This step makes sure your muffins have the perfect texture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and oil until smooth.
  4. Add the grated courgette, potato, and carrot, and mix well.
  5. Stir in the grated cheese and optional herbs.
  6. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  7. Gradually fold the dry mix into your veggie mixture until just combined. Don't overmix—this keeps muffins light and fluffy.
  8. Spoon the batter evenly into your muffin tin.
  9. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and a skewer comes out clean.
  10. Allow muffins to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

These savoury muffins taste fantastic on their own and pair well with a bit of butter or your favourite spread. They also freeze wonderfully, so you can make a batch ahead for quick snacks all week.

Pro Tip

Experiment with flavours! Try adding chopped sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach, or use sharp cheddar for extra punch. Swap in grated sweet potato or parsnip for variety.
