• servings: 12 servings
• active time: 7 minutes
• total time: 27 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup plain flour

1 cup wholemeal flour

3 tsp baking powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

½ tsp salt

2 eggs

1 cup milk

80 millilitres olive oil (one-third of a cup)

1 medium carrot

1 medium zucchini

½ medium onion

1 ¼ cup grated cheese

Directions

Heat your oven to 180 degrees C or 360 F

Prepare a 12 cup muffin tray (greased or lined with muffin cups)

Grate the onion, zucchini and carrot

Squeeze out the excess juices from the grated vegetables, I do this by holding the grated veggies in my hand over a sink and squeezing. The volume of the veggies will reduce after squeezing

Grate the cheese

In a large mixing bowl combine the dry ingredients (flours, spices and baking powder and salt) I use a whisk or fork to combine them evenly.

In A second bowl whisk the wet ingredients (oil, milk and eggs)

Combine the wet and dry ingredients

Stir through the grated vegetables and 1 cup of grated cheese

Portion the batter into the muffin tin

I sprinkle the extra ¼ cup of cheese on top of each muffin

Bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked and the centre of the muffin springs back when pushed

Cool for 5-10 minutes in the tray

Remove from the tray and cool on a cooling rack, before storing them in an airtight container.
