Bake these tasty savoury muffins on a Sunday afternoon, then pop them into a container in the fridge, ready to grab for breakfast on the run, or as a snack box filler. They’re equally good eaten warm or cold.

Ingredients

Zucchini

350 g, coarsely grated

Grated parmesan cheese

⅔ cup(s), (55g)

Wholemeal self-raising flour

½ cup(s), (80 g)

Fresh flat-leaf parsley

¼ cup(s), coarsely chopped, plus extra to serve

Egg(s)

3 medium, lightly beaten

99% fat-free, plain or natural yoghurt, unsweetened

100 g

Reduced fat feta cheese

150 g, crumbled

Pancetta

12 slice(s), (240g)

Oil spray

1 x 3 second spray(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Using your hands, firmly squeeze grated zucchini to remove excess moisture. Transfer zucchini to a large bowl. Add parmesan, flour and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and stir until well combined. Stir in eggs and yoghurt until just combined. Fold through feta.
  2. Lightly spray a 12-hole ⅓ cup (80ml) capacity non-stick muffin tray with oil. Line each hole with 1 slice of pancetta, then fill evenly with zucchini mixture. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and set. Stand muffins in tray for 5 minutes, then remove and serve scattered with extra parsley.

Notes

These muffins will keep in a reusable container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freezer for 2 months. Thaw and reheat in the oven until hot. Another easy way to remove moisture from grated zucchini, is to wrap it tightly in a clean tea towel and squeeze, then simply transfer to a bowl.
