Share recipe:

Ingredients

1 tbsp margarine, melted
1 tsp olive oil
3 spring onions, finely sliced
¼ small red capsicum, finely diced
1½ cups self-raising flour
½ cup reduced-fat milk
1 egg, beaten
1 zucchini, grated & liquid squeezed out
1 220g can reduced-salt baked beans
⅓ cup reduced-fat tasty cheese, grated

Savvy swaps

You can swap:

Spring onion
1/4 onion, finely diced
Red capsicum
Any coloured capsicum
Salt-reduced baked beans
Regular baked beans

Tips

  • Half a cup of baked beans counts as a serve of vegetables. 
  • Using salt-reduced baked beans can help lower your sodium intake. 

  • Freeze leftovers to pop in the lunch box or for a quick snack. 
  • Cut leftover capsicum in strips to have as a snack or in a salad. 

Larger cans of baked beans are usually cheaper. Use leftover baked beans on toast as a snack or in a jaffle. 

Method

Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a mini muffin tin with oil or line with paper cases. Melt the margarine in a small saucepan or in a microwave.

Step 2
Heat oil in a small non-stick pan, add the spring onion and capsicum and cook for 2 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened.

Step 3
Remove from heat and drain on absorbent paper.

Step 4
Sift the self-raising flour into a large bowl.

Step 5
Mix the milk, egg and melted margarine together in a jug.

Step 6
Make a well in the centre of the flour and gradually pour in the milk, egg and margarine while mixing gently.

Step 7
Fold in the cooked onion and capsicum, zucchini, baked beans and cheese until just combined.

Step 8
Spoon into the muffin tin and bake for 12-15 minutes until cooked through and golden.

Step 9
Remove muffins from the tin and cool on a cake rack.
