Courgette, pea and lime cupcakes
Other 15 Mins Prep
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake wrappers.
- Grate the courgettes roughly then place in a clean cloth and squeeze out any excess liquid. Place the peas in a blender and blitz until smooth.
- Beat the egg, oil and sugar in a bowl until creamy and light in colour.
- Sieve in the flour, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder. Beat until well combined.
- Stir the courgettes and pea purée into the mixture.
- Using an ice cream scoop, fill 2⁄3 of each cupcake wrapper with the batter.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned and firm to the touch.
- Leave in the tin for 5-10 minutes, then turn out onto the rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the icing by beating the cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Sift the icing sugar and juice the lime. Add the sugar and lime juice to the cream cheese and beat well. Place the icing into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle.
- Pipe the icing onto the cupcakes and serve.
