Baking with veggies?

[VintedoreBay]

I'd love to do some healthier baking using vegetables.....
Anyone got any family friendly recipes? I'm thinking like sweet potato muffins, and maybe even a beetroot choc brownie type thing, etc.
Thanks!

I've had courgette cakes and beetroot brownies and they are always worse for it. I would much rather have a proper brownie/muffin/cupcake once or twice a week than a daily 'treat' which doesn't actually taste right.

Have a look at the Zoe nutrition Instagram page. I saw a courgette loaf on there the other day, looked lovely.

Apologies if I was unclear@SummaLuvin , I'm asking for recipes...

Carrot cake
Veggie based lasagne using aubergines
quiches (eggs + veg), I do a great spinach and tomato one
Stuffed peppers
stuffed mushrooms

Thanks I'll take a look, actually have a glut of courgettes at the moment!

BBC Good food is pretty reliable for recipes

Any particular baking with veg ones you know of?

Yes,

there is this carrot cake (I like how it has walnuts and the classic cream cheese frosting)

I use this one for the veggie lasagne, only I cut the oil down to 1Tbsp as the 4 Tbsps it calls for is way too much.

The other veggie things are family recipes- ie my dad taught me how to make quiche.

@BillaBongGirl thank you! We love quiche too, cheats quiche cups using tortilla wraps instead of pastry are a winner in our house 😊

Sweetcorn Fritters. I use considerably lesss oil to fry them in; sometimes use a mix of peas and sweetcorn; sometimes use chickpea flour.

Chocolate courgette cake

I make my own falafel and hummus for These kind of lunches]]

There's a lovely book called "Red Velvet and Chocolate Heartache" by Harry Eastwood, which is mostly cake recipes and nearly all contain vegetables of some sort.

@Sunseed that sounds just the sort of thing!
