Savoury Zucchini Muffins

Perfect for lunch on the run or fresh from the oven, these muffins have oodles of cheesy flavour.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
• 2 cups grated tasty cheese
• 100g ham, chopped (optional)
• 1 zucchini, grated
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced chives
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup fruit chutney
• pumpkin or sunflower seeds (optional)

Method

Preheat oven to 200°C and grease a 6 x 3/4-cup capacity muffin pan and line the bases of holes with baking paper.

Sift flour into a large bowl. Add cheese, ham, zucchini and chives.

Whisk milk, egg and chutney in a jug until well combined.

Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk mixture. Using a large metal spoon, gently mix until just combined.  Spoon into muffin holes and top with seeds, if using.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Stand in the pan for 3 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
