These zucchini slice muffins are the easiest and most convenient way to enjoy the ever popular zucchini slice. Turning zucchini slice into muffins makes it perfectly portioned ready to add to school lunch boxes or pop in the freezer for another day.

These muffins can also be made in the Thermomix. Simply follow the instructions for Thermomix zucchini slice and bake the mixture in a muffin tin instead of a slice tin. This recipe is vegetarian, but you can easily add meat in the form of cooked chopped bacon or chopped ham, like in our ham and zucchini slice.

What you need:

To make these lunch box friendly muffins you will need the following ingredients:

• Onion – These muffins were made with a brown onion, but this can easily be substituted for a red onion or even a few finely chopped spring onions (green onions).
• Zucchinis – Use fresh zucchinis.
• Cheese – Tasty cheese was use in this recipe, but feel free to swap this for your favourite variety of grated cheese.
• Self raising flour – If you don’t have any self raising flour on hand, make your own by combining 1 cup of plain flour with 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
• Eggs – Large sized eggs were used in this recipe.
• Salt and pepper – For seasoning the mixture.
