Cheesy Courgette Muffins

Cheesy, fresh and full of flavour – this easy muffin recipe is a great way to offer courgette to your child or toddler! These healthy muffins are great for any occasion, and are perfect for school lunches or snacks when you’re out and about.

 
Suitable for a baby 6 months+ and can be offered as a finger food 

Tip: I always bake these in a Silicone Muffin Tray –  The non-stick surface means that you don’t need to grease the tray before use, and they are so easy to clean!
