  My 3 and a half year old son had great fun cooking these with me and an even better time demolishing the end result.We added a half teaspoon of mixed spice aswell as the cinnamon for a bit of extra flavour and left off the icing but were still really pleased with the result. A great way of getting a bit of fruit and veg into fussy kids mouths!

  I didn't put on the topping. Found the muffins a bit heavy but good

  I used double the quanity of courgette as was overwhelmed by our veggie patch and they were delicious. Tried them out on friends and neighbours...no one could guess the secret ingredient!

  mmm these are tasty! i'm trying to sneak some veg into my youngest one's diet so i added double the amount of courgette. i didnt have any butter so i used sunflower oil instead. i had to put a little bit of water in as the mixture seemed quite dry and i didnt bother with the topping but just dusted them in icing sugar. you can't tell there's veg in it at all. will def make again

  Great way to use up the odd courgette you may have in the bottom of the fridge! These were really tasty and moist and most of them were gone before I could add the topping! I may add just a little more cinnamon or mixed spice next time.

  I too doubted the quantity of courgette and spices and squeezed out some of the liquid from the veg. They were so tasty they were eaten in a day......so off to make some more

  Fantastic recipe and so tasty! My 3.5yr old LOVED them! I didn't use the sultanas as they aren't a favourite but I don't think it made any difference. We will definatly be making them again!

  Very tasty and no-one could guess what was in it! Made them with my 3 year old son as they are sooo easy to make. Left off the topping and just dusted some icing sugar over the top and also left out the sultanas as DH not a fan but don't think it would have made too much difference over all. Moist and light. Will definately make again!

  made with stark not butter and skipped sultanas. Muffins were delicious! the only concern was the got stuck to the paper wrappers, but i guess it made the eating part more fun..

  I used sunflower spread instead of butter so maybe that changed things but even so i think 300g flour is way too much for 75g shorting and only one egg. The icing saved the day really (used Philadelphia light). normally, I like to eat some of the cake part first and then eat some of the icing and then eat them together.... but the cake was far too floury tasting to just eat the cake part. In future if i want to make a courgette cake i think i will just use a basic carrot cake recipe and swap the carrots for courgettes or perhaps, as a healthier option, make a pumpkin/ apple puree cake but use courgette puree instead...

  These look so very good - I'll be making them for my co-op's coffee morning. I will, as some commenters suggested, double the amount of veg (some of our guys don't like anything that's good for them) and will also add the mixed spice. I expect rave reviews!
