Chocolate courgette muffins

3 eggs
400g caster sugar
250ml vegetable oil
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
250g grated courgette
375g plain flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

I left out the cloves and cardamom as I didnt have any. This recipe makes 24 muffins and is perfect for using up extra courgettes. I ended up with a carrier bag full that i'm working my way through.

Beat together the eggs, oil and sugar. Then add the vanilla essence, cocoa powder and courgette, then add the remaining ingredients. This is a very thick mixture. cook on 180 for about 15-20 mins.

Im experimenting with sourdough spelt at the moment so will post a recipe when I figure out a decent one.

Ive started my FlyLady routines again, which is really helping me keep the house in order. And i'm developing a schooling routine/schedule too, so changes happening at the moment, but its good. The more organized I am, the more I can cope. My ribs have started hurting again though. Trying to find a balance between resting and getting stuff done.

Meanwhile, my sink is shiny and my shoes are purple.
