Packed with vegetables high in fibre, these muffins are great for the digestive system.

Ingredients

1 knobButter
2 TbspOlive oil
2Onions, finely sliced
2 TbspBalsamic vinegar
2 tspBrown sugar
1 ½ cupsCourgettes, grated (Main)
1 cupPumpkin, grated (Main)
1 cupSpinach, chopped (Main)
1 cupCorn kernels, raw or canned
½ cupSundried tomatoes, chopped
½ tspFreshly ground black pepper
1 tspSalt
2 tspWholegrain mustard
¾ cupParmesan cheese, grated
1 cupMilk
4Eggs
¼ cupOlive oil
4 tspBaking powder
2 ¼ cupsWholemeal flour
¼ cupPumpkin seeds

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 180C. Grease a 12-pan muffin tin with butter.
  2. Heat olive oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Cook onions until soft and starting to caramelise, 8-10 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar, sugar and a good pinch of salt and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the balsamic has reduced.
  3. Place grated courgette in a clean tea towel and wring to squeeze out excess water.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, mix caramelised balsamic onions, courgette, pumpkin, spinach, corn, sundried tomatoes, salt, pepper, mustard, parmesan, milk, eggs and olive oil together until well combined.
  5. Sieve wholemeal flour and baking powder together and add to vegetable mixture. Use a large metal spoon to gently fold the two mixtures together until just combined. Do not overmix the mixture to avoid the muffins being tough.
  6. Spoon mixture into muffin tins, dividing equally. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds over the top. Bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the muffin comes out clean.
  7. Remove from the muffin tins and cool on a wire rack.
