Carrot and Courgette Muffins

I wanted to make savoury muffins as something a little different for lunch. Searching online I found lots of recipes but none were suitable for my children’s allergies. I thought A search for vegan recipes would do the trick but still none were allergy friendly for us. The main problem I found was all the recipes contained either peas, corn or nuts. all of which are a no no in our house.

So I got to work figuring out a suitable savoury muffin recipe that would work for us. This is how this recipe came about. Carrot and Courgette are two safe foods for us, so that was my starting point for this recipe. The first time I make the the were too mushy as I didn’t account for the extra moisture the courgette adds to the mixture. I have since tweaked the recipe and I think I have found the right balance.

This savoury muffins are lovely and a big hit with my allergy baby.

My children have multiple allergies from babies. There was a long list of things they couldn't eat with out being really poorly. I started by adapting known recipes, which lead to me experimenting and designing my own new ones! Now I share what I learned along the way in hopes of helping other families like us.
