·     Take a separate bowl to prepare the dry mixture. Sieve the wholemeal flour, baking powder, baking soda, & salt.
·     Now, little by little, add the dry mix to the wet mixture and fold gently (for about 20-30 seconds) till nicely combined into a lumpy batter. Avoid folding the batter too much.
·     In another medium bowl, mix the grated zucchini, carrots, & shredded Cheddar cheese.
·     Next, divide the batter into 12 equal portions in the lined muffin tray. Then, add a little bit of the veggie-cheese mix on top of each raw muffin and stir once with a toothpick.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the Easiest Dessert to Make From Scratch?
All kids love a good dessert. But, of course, the best way to know just what they’re eating is to make it yourself, so you can avoid the laundry list of unfamiliar ingredients that comes with all of the processed sweets out there.
The good news is that you don’t have to be a whiz in the kitchen to whip up something tasty.
Fried ice cream is a favorite comfort dessert, but it’s a lot of work.
A more straightforward solution is to make a simpler variation of it, which involves toasting corn flakes separately and then coating the ice cream with your crunchy, fried topping.
You get the same effect with a fraction of the work.
Another Easy Favorite, Which Involves a Total of Five Ingredients, is Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies.
Mix peanut butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg into a simple batter, roll out some cookies and throw them in the oven. As soon as they’re done, put a chocolate kiss candy in the middle of each cooking, so the kiss melts a little as the cookie hardens around it.
There’s no shortage of recipes just like this all around the Internet!
What Can You Bake When You’re Bored?
Nothing is easier than simply going to the supermarket and picking up a tube of cookie dough, but if you want to make something from scratch that’s still quick and easy, you can’t do better than a dump cake.
While the name may not be appealing, it’s appropriate, as all you have to do is dump a collection of ingredients into a bowl, mix them, and then dump the mixture into a cake pan! A quick Internet search will return all sorts of dump cake recipes.
What Is the Best Dessert in the World?
If you ask one hundred different people what the best dessert in the world is, you’re going to get one hundred different answers. A lot goes into what makes a good dessert, but it all comes down to taste at the end of the day.
Many beloved desserts are tied to their countries of origin. For example, you’ve probably heard the phrase “American as apple pie.” That saying, of course, stems from the United State’s love of apple pie.
There are numerous popular French desserts, such as macarons, mousse, and crème brĂ»lĂ©e. From there, it’s just a hop, skip, and a jump over to Italy, the birthplace of tiramisu. There are many dessert dishes running for the best dessert globally, and we haven’t even gotten to a particular Canadian classic!
