Zucchini and Flax Seed Muffins
by Tarla Dalal

This is a unique muffin with a fabulous, exotic flavour! A batter of plain dough is enhanced with grated zucchini, flax seeds powder and brown sugar, all of which give the muffins a very interesting mouth-feel and rare flavour.

A dash of cinnamon, some mashed bananas and vanilla add to the flavour of the Zucchini and Flax Seed Muffins, making it a yummy treat that appeals to all. If you are not having these muffins immediately, warm them up for a few seconds in a microwave oven before serving.

Serve these muffins for breakfast accompanied with a smoothie or milkshake .
