Method
- Ask an adult to preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, 180°C.
- Place the muffin cases in a muffin tin.
- Rinse the courgette and ask an adult to cut the ends off, before grating it into a mixing bowl. You could swap the courgette for 80g of peas or sweetcorn instead.
- Grate the cheese into the mixing bowl, watching out for your fingers.
- Add the self-raising flour, along with the oil and milk.
- Crack one egg into a small bowl with some black pepper and add this to the other ingredients.
- Stir until all the ingredients are combined, but children shouldn’t mix too much as the muffins might end up tough.
- With the help of an adult, divide the mixture equally between the muffin cases using two spoons.
- Ask an adult to transfer the muffin tray to the oven to bake for around 20 minutes until they're golden and piping hot throughout.
- Cool on a cooling rack.
- Serve warm or with a bowl of soup for lunch.
