BACON, ZUCCHINI AND BASIL MINI MUFFINS

These super yummy little morsels are so easy to make and are a great way to get kids to eat zucchini, they won’t even know it’s in there! They are perfect for an afternoon tea, or pack into the kids school lunches!

 

 

BACON, ZUCCHINI AND BASIL MINI MUFFINS (Makes 24)

  • 300 gm Zucchini (grated)
  • 1 small Onion (finely diced)
  • 2 rashers Bacon (finely diced)
  • 1/2 cup grated Cheese
  • 1/8 cup Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Self Raising Flour (sifted)
  • 3 eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 1 teaspoon GOURMET GARDEN TUBE Parsley
  • 1 teaspoon GOURMET GARDEN TUBE Basil
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 190C.

Generously spray 2 patty pan trays with non-stick cooking spray, (If you don’t have patty pan trays, use any muffin trays, I have even doubled this recipe and made big texas muffin size ones).

Place all ingredients into a large mixing bowl and stir with a fork until combined.

Spoon into prepared patty pan trays.

 

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until golden. Turning once after about 15 minutes.

Remove from patty pan trays with a fork, and cool on a wire rack. They freeze beautifully if wrapped in cling wrap and placed in a storage container, I love my Tupperware freezer mate containers as they really do stop freezer burn.
