Sneaky Summer Muffins

 

These are wonderfully simple muffins to make with the children but if your little person isn’t keen on vegetables a great way into fooling them to eat their veggies without them knowing. You could always top the muffins with a little grated cheese and pop back into the oven for the cheese to melt and great cover up! bb mandyxxx

300g plain flour

1 Tsp baking powder

75g grated carrot

Add the grated carrot and courgette, chopped spring onions and mix.

In a separate bowl mix together the soured cream, milk, egg, melted butter, poppy seeds and salt and pepper.

Pour into the dry mixture.
