What to do:
Step 1
Before cooking, wash your hands and put an apron on. Weigh and measure all the ingredients. There should be enough for nine mini muffins using the quantities shown.
Step 2
Snap the courgette and carefully grate. Then snap the carrot and carefully grate.
Step 3
Break the egg into the bowl and whisk it with a fork. Add the grated courgette, grated carrot, raisins, milk and sunflower oil. This is called the wet mix.
Step 4
In the other bowl, mix together the flour, sugar and baking powder. This is called the dry mix.
Step 5
Pour the wet mix into the dry mix and give it a good stir with the tablespoon.
Step 6
Using the two-spoon method with the two teaspoons, spoon the mixture into small muffin cases in a muffin tray.
Step 7
You will need to ask a grown-up for help with this part. Place the tray in a pre-heated oven at 200ºC fan/220ºC/Gas 7 for 12–15 minutes. Once the Carrot and Courgette Muffins have cooled down a little, you can eat them!
Step 8
Serving suggestion: serve one or two with a glass or diluted orange juice or some berries. This dish can be frozen for up to one month.
