Healthy Savoury Muffins

This is such a healthy recipe for kids.  The muffins are packed with vitamin A & E, calcium & fibre.  I didn't add salt as I made these for my little girl.  She loves them! She was even trying to dance (moving her shoulders) while eating them, so funny... Next time I might also add some onions in to make them even more nutritious.

For adults, the taste is quite blend.  You'll need to add some extra ingredient like bacon in order to further enhance to flavour.

 
Healthy Savoury Muffins

Make 6 muffins

Ingredients:

75g wholemeal flour
37g wheat germ
2.5tsp baking powder
2 cups shredded carrots & zucchini 
60g shredded cheddar cheese
1 medium egg
80ml water (or milk)
80ml olive oil

Optional Ingredients:  bacon, salt & pepper

Method:

Preheat oven to 180C (conventional, if fan-forced preheat to 165C).

Put wholemeal flour, wheatgerm & baking powder into a large bowl and mix well. then add in carrots & zucchini and cheese, mix until they are well combined.

Whisk egg, water & oil together in small bowl.  Add the egg mixture into the flour mixture, mix UNTIL THEY ARE JUST COMBINED (Do NOT overmix or they will become tough)

Put the mixture into the prepared muffin pan and bake for about 20 mins.

Best serve while they are still warm.  These muffins will turn hard when they are cold.  You can use microwave oven to warm them up again.
