Muffins

My kids love muffins. Here is a quick and easy muffin recipe that you can make in no time. They are great for school lunch boxes, after school snacks or great to send with hungry children for Saturday sports. This recipe is perfect for using up overripe bananas, leftover chocolate chips, berries and  zucchini, yes that's right zucchini.

I like to make a huge batch and freeze half of the cooked muffins in snap lock bags. Just remove from freezer place in lunch box and they are perfect for morning tea.

6 cups of plain flour

3 cups of castor sugar

2 teaspoons of salt
