Hidden Veg. . .it’s that age old struggle. Please don’t get scurvy, eat something healthy! So these little Zucchini, Corn & Bacon muffins  are a great way to sneak some veg in if you have a fussy eater like me! I hate my veggies đ But i’ll happily scoff these, as will my son – who loves his veg.
This is a very forgiving recipe and I have been known to swap in sun dried tomatoes, olives, feta, chorizo and pretty much any diced up semi hard veggie I have in the fridge. So just because the recipe says Zucchini, Corn & Bacon muffins doesn’t mean you have to turn them out. I’d love to hear your different combinations for these!

Instructions
Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan-forced. Line up 2 12-hole, 1/3 cup-capacity muffin pans with squares of baking paper or use mini paper cups
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add bacon. Cook bacon for 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain. Cool 5 minutes.
Squeeze excess liquid from zucchini. Combine flour, onion, zucchini, corn, cheese and half the bacon in a large bowl. Make a well in centre. Whisk egg, milk and remaining oil in a separate bowl. Add egg mixture to flour. Stir until combined (do not over-mix).
Divide mixture between prepared pan holes. Sprinkle with extra cheese and remaining bacon. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden and firm to touch. Stand in pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store muffins in an airtight container in the fridge or wrap each muffin in plastic wrap, then foil and freeze for up to 2 months.
