Tips for Perfect Carrot and Courgette Muffins:

  1. Fresh is best: Use fresh grated courgette and carrot for the best flavor and texture.
    Don’t overmix: Overmixing can lead to tough muffins. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined.
    Fill to the top: Filling the muffin cups to the top will give you taller, fluffier muffins.
    Test for doneness: Use a toothpick to check if the muffins are cooked through. Insert it into the center. If it comes out clean, they are ready.
    Store properly: Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
