Everyone knows kids love pizza so why not pack a healthier version in their lunch box. Filled with cheese, ham, sun-dried tomatoes, and zucchini (in disguise) these muffins are a savory kid-approved meal. These muffins freeze well so make a batch and freeze to keep on hand. Pack them in the lunch box in the morning and they will thaw before lunch break.
Makes approx. 16 muffins
Shhh! We won’t tell if you won’t tell. Grated zucchini – the secret ingredient kids won’t even know is there!
Ingredients
2 cups self-rising flour
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup zucchini, peeled and grated
1 cup cheese, grated
1 cup ham, diced
1/4 cup olives, sliced finely
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon dried Italian herb seasoning
Directions
1. Place the flour, dried herbs, zucchini and cheese in a large bowl and mix well to coat the zucchini and cheese.
2. Add the ham, olives and sun-dried tomatoes and mix to combine.
3. Add the eggs and milk and mix just until all flour is combined. Don’t over mix. Over mixing will lead to tough muffins.
4. Spoon mixture into muffin trays and bake in a 350°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until muffins spring back when touched and have browned slightly.
