Method
step 1
Brush the muffin tin with oil. Ask your grown-up helper to switch the oven to 190C/ 170C fan/gas 5.
step 2
Grate the courgettes and put them in a large bowl. Grate the apple and add to the bowl. Squeeze the orange and add the juice to the bowl.
step 3
Break the egg into a bowl; if any bits of shell get in, scoop them out with a spoon. Stir the butter and egg into the courgette and apple mix.
step 4
Sieve the flour, baking powder and cinnamon into the bowl. Add the sugar and sultanas.
step 5
Mix with a spoon until everything is combined, but don’t worry if it is lumpy.
step 6
Spoon the mixture into the tin. Ask your helper to put it in the oven and cook for 20-25 mins. Cool in the tin, then spread some icing on each.
