Hidden vege banana muffins

Serves   12
Prep time: 15 mins
Cooking time: 20 mins

These banana muffins with a hint of hidden veggies are a great way to up your five plus a day. Light, soft and bursting with banana, they’re the best sneaky snacking solution for the whole whanau; especially our tamariki!

Banana muffins

Ingredients

Method

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • ¾ cup caster sugar 
  • 1 egg
  • ⅓ cup rice bran oil
  • 1 ½ cups Pams Self Raising Flour 
  • 1 tsp baking soda 
  • 1 small carrot, peeled and grated
  • 1 small courgette, grated

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C fan bake. In a bowl, whisk together the bananas, caster sugar, egg and oil until combined. 
  2. Sieve the flour and baking soda into the wet ingredients. Place the grated carrot and courgette in a clean tea towel, then wrap and squeeze to remove any excess liquid.
  3. Add the grated vegetables to the muffin mixture then fold until all ingredients have just been mixed. 
  4. Evenly divide the mixture amongst a lined 12-hole muffin tin and bake for 20 minutes or when a skewer comes out clean when tested. Leave to cool then enjoy!
Top tip

For eagle-eyed tamariki, replace the carrot for another courgette and peel off the skin before grating; making the courgette invisible to the naked eye in these fluffy muffins!
As an extra special treat throw in ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips along with the grated vegetables.
