Recipe - Clean courgette, lime and poppy seed muffins

2 January 2025

This weeks experiment – fresh and zingy taste. Colleagues approved and asked for recipe so here goes


Ingredients

• 6 large free range eggs

• 60g of melted odourless coconut oil 

• 50g of coconut flour

• Juice and zest of 2 limes

• 1 courgette (around 100g) grated

• 1 tbsp poppy seeds 

• 1 – 2 tbps of maple syrup. I find one is enough for me but if baking for friends or family I use 2.

• Pinch of sea salt 

• ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda

• 2 tbsp unpasturised apple cider vinegar ( this is milder than most varieties)

 

Combine everything other than courgette, poppy seeds and zest in a bowl. Mix together by hand or in a mixer till smooth and wait a few minutes. 

 Once mixed fold in zest and courgette and spoon into your pre - greased muffin pan

 Put in oven 180oC for 15-20 mins

This is one of my current favourites. Batch make and put what you don’t need in freezer to grab and go on busier days. Great balance of protein, natural fats and veg!
