KooL KidZ ~ Hands on kids cooking
Zucchini cake + carrot cake = zucchini and carrot muffins
Thank you Rebecca for sharing your KooL KidZ with us
A day in the kitchen today to keep the troops occupied while its raining outside. I am not complaining!
We attempted to combine 2 cake recipes and then make muffins out of them instead. I *think* it worked (as I eat my 4th for the day). (By Rebecca)
Zucchini and Carrot Muffins
(makes about 24)
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups caster sugar
2/3 cup olive oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
2 cups grated grated zucchini (lightly packed)
1 cup grated carrot (lightly packed)
2 cups crushed pineapple
1/2 cup almond meal
Icing sugar for dusting
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Combine eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla.
Sift in flour, baking powder and cinnamon.
Fold in zucchini, carrot, pineapple and almond meal.
Grease 2 large muffin trays and spoon in mixture, about 2/3 full.
Bake for around 15 minutes, checking regularly. Muffins are cooked when loely and brown.
Allow to cool slightly, then place on a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust with icing sugar.
These muffins keep well for 4-5 days in an airtight container.

What a great indoor WINTER project to do with the kids. Kids love “creating” and I have found that having them hands on in making healthy foods really gets them inspired to eat new foods. Thanks Rebecca for sharing this recipe with us. Looks like its great fun from your pics….
if you have a kids recipe, craft project, tips or money saving idea… send them in with a pic and name/age of your child and we will send you a little something when its live on our blog. email to info at latoriana.com.au
