Savoury Zucchini Muffins


Who says muffins have to be sweet only.... So I started looking for savoury muffins on Internet & came across many recipes of zucchini muffins. But then I liked something in one and something else in other...so I came up with this recipe of my own (off course I took help from those recipes) & now I can say that these are Very Healthy & yummy savoury muffins :)

Dry Ingredients
1 1/2 cups wheat flour
1 tbsp oatmeal
1 tbsp flax meal
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt (according to taste)

Wet Ingredients
1 cup milk
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp chilli flakes
2 tsp mixed herbs
1 cup grated zucchini
1/2 cup grated carrot
2 tsp chives or 1 tsp onion green
2 tbsp water (if needed)

Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Sieve together wheat flour, salt, baking soda & baking powder.
Mix oats & flax meal in flour.
In a separate bowl, mix together the oil, milk, zucchini, carrot, mixed herbs & chilli flakes.
Add the wet ingredients into the dry and stir lightly – don’t over mix. If needed add little water & mix lightly.
Line a muffin tin with muffin cups or baking paper and spoon in equal amounts of the batter.
Bake for 20 minutes & check on your muffins, turn the tray around in the oven. Bake for another 5-10 minutes or until lovely and golden.
Cool them or enjoy them hot :)

Tips
I loved them HOT so I won't say eat them cold :)
Either serve these as it is or grate some cheese & sprinkle black pepper and warm them up in oven for few minutes.
You can make small muffins & scoop the centre. Then fill some spicy dip.
You can add some roasted nuts in the batter and sprinkle some on the top before baking.
