muffins with hidden veg?

[deaconblue]

Ds (11 months) has gone mad for the ham and cheese muffins I've made. anyone got a recipe for muffin mixture I can grate some veg into as he won't eat any veg since he's become a self feeder. Thought maybe courgette or something similar might work in a cheese muffin.

best of luck to you
you can try, take the skin of the courgettes nust in case he's anything like mine and hurls any greenery 50 yds

Courgettes really have no flavour at all, you can bung them in anything. This is a good sweet recipe for lemon courgette bread - you could bake this up as muffins. You're after savoury food, though, aren't you?

Savoury yes please. But sounds perfect. Just want him to eat some veg. He loves fruit but won't go near veg. Doesn't have to be muffins but it seems he likes the cake type texture.

I have a recipe for carrot muffins if you would like it?

yes please, that would be fab flumppootle
