    Brush the muffin tin with oil. Ask your grown-up helper to switch the oven to 190C/ 170C fan/gas 5.

RECIPE TIPS
BAKING WITH COURGETTES

Courgettes can hold quite a lot of water, which can affect the finished texture of your cake. If your grated courgettes seem watery, place them into a clean cloth and wring out some of the liquid into a bowl. Then add the courgettes to the mixture as normal. The timing for cakes containing courgette can depend on the water content of your courgettes, so return the muffins to the oven for another 10 mins if needed. Simply test with a skewer and make sure it comes out clean.
