Chocolate courgette muffins


Preparation time: 30-60 minutes recipes

 – Makes 12 muffins

A great way to hide some extra veggies. Courgettes have a very neutral taste and blend in perfectly with the banana, cacao and almond meal. My kids love them…and so do I. Great for lunchboxes and snack time.

Please note that gluten-free baking creates different textures. These muffins are dense and moist but far more delicious than additive loaded conventional ones. Give them a try.

Goes well with: coffee, tea and good company, lunchbox proof
