Meatloaf Muffin Magic

There is nothing worse than being hungry when you are out and about and realising you have nothing to eat, as you have cleaned out your lunchbox hours ago. Suddenly, you are finding yourself caught between going to the vending machine or the cornershop for a pasty. Your grumbling stomach takes over and next thing you know you are chewing on a Snickers bar telling yourself, you will burn it off later at the gym. I have done it many times, without fail.

If you fail to prepare, be prepared to fail

I have taken some inspiration from Jamie Eason's recipes, tweaked it in places and I am very pleased with the outcome. These almondy Zucchini Meat Muffins are a lean source of protein and a great as a snack to take with you and nibble on throughout the day. 

Ingredients:

• 2 pck lean turkey mince (600gr), or alternatively chicken mince
• 4 medium zucchini, grated
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 diced onion
• fresh coriander
• parsley
• dash of pepper
• 1/2 cup almond flakes
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp basil (use either fresh or dried)

1,2,3...and Cook!

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees

• Combine ingredients in a large bowl, reach in and start mushing them together using your hands

• Spray muffin tray with Fry Light  or use non stick tray
• Using a tbsp, scoop the mixture onto tray

• Cook for about 7 mins in preheated oven

Happy Broiling! x
