Ruth from Makey-Cakey was our March 2013 Daring Bakers’ challenge host. She encouraged us all to get experimental in the kitchen and sneak some hidden veggies into our baking, with surprising and delicious results!
The challenge required us to bake a sweet cake, biscuit or confectionery of our choice with a “hidden” vegetable ingredient. I chose Karen Martini's zucchini, coconut and macadamia muffins from The Age Good Food (p9) on 5 March 2013. You can find the recipe online here. I skipped the xanthan gum and the frosting:
These muffins were soft, not overly sweet but still pleasant, and the macadamias gave a nice crunch. You can see the zucchini in mine, but if you wanted to shred the zucchini really finely, I am sure that it would "disappear".
Thanks to this month's host, Ruth. To see what the other Daring Bakers made, visit the slideshow at the Daring Kitchen website.
