Cooking time: 25 mins

Serves: 12

Instructions

Use a cupcake pan or individual mini cake moulds.

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan assisted/gas mark 6.

Melt Lurpak® Baking with citrus zest and allow to cool completely.

Whisk together the flour, and icing sugar in a bowl, then whisk in the ground almonds. Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the whites into the dry ingredients, and then lightly stir in the melted butter and finally the courgette. It should come together into a batter.

Spoon evenly into your prepared cupcake or muffin tray, top each one with a slice of fruit and some courgette peelings (optional) and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring on to a wire rack to cool completely.
