Ingredients
-
Melted butter or oil, for greasing
-
300g (2 cups) self-raising flour
-
3/4 teaspoon salt
-
270g carrots, coarsely grated
-
250g piece butternut pumpkin, peeled, deseeded, coarsely grated
-
100g zucchini, trimmed, coarsely grated
-
65g (3/4 cup) coarsely grated cheddar
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
-
125ml (1/2 cup) milk
-
3 eggs, lightly whisked
-
60g (3 tablespoons) butter, melted
Method
-
1Preheat oven to 210°C. Brush 12 medium (125ml/1/2 cup) muffin pans with melted butter or oil to grease.
-
2Sift the flour and salt together into a large bowl. Add the carrots, pumpkin, zucchini, cheddar and chives. Toss to combine until the vegetables are well coated with the flour. Make a well in the centre of the vegetable mixture.
-
3Whisk the milk, eggs and butter in a large jug. Pour into the centre of the vegetable mixture and use a large metal spoon to fold in until just combined. Don’t overmix or the muffins will be tough.
-
4Spoon the mixture into the greased pans and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the muffins comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
-
5Cut muffins in half and spread with butter. Sandwich back together and wrap individually in plastic wrap. Place in the freezer until required.
