These no-fuss breakfast muffins have a lovely light texture. The fussiest eater will love these but if you would like to bump-up the flavour for spice lovers just add your favourite herbs and spices (paprika works well in this recipe). Make extra to keep in the fridge for snacks or school lunch boxes.
Serves: 12 muffins | Prep Time: 00:15 | Cooking Time: 00:25

5 lge egg(s)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 lge (approx 450gm) zucchini, grated (skin on)

3 slices ham (nitrate free), diced
3 Tbsp coconut flour
