Instructions: MAKES 12 MUFFINS OVO-LACTO My older son would almost always rather have a muffin than a sandwich for lunch. This is his favorite kind. Good accompaniments are a small container of yogurt or a wedge of cheese, plus some fresh fruit.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 12 standard muffin pan cups with foil liners or lightly coat with cooking spray.

In large bowl, combine flour, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. In another bowl, combine eggs, yogurt and sugar. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients and pour in wet mixture. Mix until well blended. Stir in courgette and raisins.

Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups. Bake until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin tests clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on a rack. Wrap well in plastic wrap to send in a lunch box.
