Zucchini Bacon Muffins

I have some zucchini in the fridge which I bought "wrongly" and they gonna be going into the bin soon if I dont do something with it. So, marvel of internet, google and found a recipe for it, did a little twick and here it is.. yummy.

Savoury muffins:

 Batter before baking




 Turn into golden brown nice soft yummy mini muffins 


Hubby as usual, with his chilli sauce.. even on muffins.. argghhh...






Ingredients:


  • Approx 500 grams grated zucchini (mine is roughly two pieces, minus the spoiled part.. :D)
  • 1 carrot grated
  • 1 medium onion peeled and diced finely
  • About 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1/2 cup diced bacon
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese 
  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper
  • 4-5 eggs (depending on size) 
Methods:


  1. Pre heat your oven to 180C (I uses 200C coz this oven is not so powerful)
  2. Drain your grated zucchini, by placing them in a clean tea towel, and squeezing out as much moisture as you can, you will be surprised how much comes out of even very firm vegetables. 
  3. Put into a large bowl, and add the grated carrot, onion, cheese, bacon, flour and olive oil. Stir together, and add salt and pepper to your taste.
  4. Add 4 eggs, and stir the mixture thoroughly, it should be moist but not to runny. Unlike normal muffins, this batter can take plenty of stirring without producing a tough result. If the mixture looks to dry, add the remaining egg.
  5. Bake in greased muffin trays for about 20-25 mins at 180C until golden brown. Mini muffins will only take 15-20 mins.
