  • 1 courgette (need 20g)
  • 1 carrot (need 20g)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 heaped tablespoon raisins

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.

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.

Using the two-spoon method with the two teaspoons, spoon the mixture into small muffin cases in a muffin tray.

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.
