Recipe's preparation

  1. 1.    Preheat oven to 180 deg C

    2.    Peel strips of lemon zest off about ½ a lemon and place on a paper towel to dry a little before milling. Take care not to include white pith in the peels.

    3.    Place sugar and lemon zest into bowl and mill 10sec/speed 9 and set aside.

    4.    Place zucchini chunks into bowl and chop 5 sec/speed 4. Set aside.

    5.    Add butter or oil to bowl and milled sugar/lemon zest, and mix 15 sec/speed 4. Scrape down and repeat if necessary until butter is combined with sugar

    6.    Add flour and rest of ingredients except walnuts. Mix 15 sec/speed 4. Scrape down and mix again 5 sec/speed 4  or until well combined

    7.    Add pecans/walnuts (see tip 3) if using and stir into mixture 5 to 10 sec/speed 3/reverse

    8.    Spoon batter into patty pans or oiled muffin pans. Bake for about 20 mins until golden brown. When ready they should feel firm and spring back when pressed with a finger.

    9.    Allow to cool in pans for 10 mins before removing to cool on a wire rack.

  2. Describe the preparation steps of your recipe

Tip

1.    For vegan alternative, replace the butter with 60g oil of choice (e.g. coconut oil)

2.    For vegan diet, replace the egg with 60-70g ripe banana. You can cut back the sugar to 150g if using banana.

3.    It is easier to empty the mixture from the TM bowl into another bowl and spoon it into the moulds with the help of a spatula. Walnuts, if using, can be folded in at this stage in place of step 7.

4.    Serve plain, dusted with icing sugar once completely cooled, or with slightly sweetened cream cheese icing.

5.    This recipe is low in FODMAPs
