Courgette Muffins

These taste quite healthy and are great for breakfast or as a snack with a cup of coffee or tea. To make them slightly less healthy, use all plain flour (no spelt) and up the amount of sugar a bit.

Ingredients:
1 medium courgette
2½ cups flour (I used 1 cup spelt and 1½ cups plain flour)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
¼ cup cocoa powder
¾ cup sugar
1 dash salt
1 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp lemon juice
¼ cup raisins

Instructions:
1. Grate the courgette and then squeeze it out or leave it to drip for 10-15 minutes.
2. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, sugar, and salt together.
3. Blend in the eggs, oil, vanilla, and lemon juice.
4. Add the grated courgette and the raisins. Mix well.
5. Place about 2-3 tbsp batter into muffin cases.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 175 C.
