Step Two

Place the flour, salt and pepper, baking powder and parmesan cheese into a large mixing bowl

Step Three

Coarsely grate the courgette and add it to the mixing bowl. Add the yoghurt, oil, eggs and milk and mix together with a fork until it is roughly mixed.

Step 4

Spoon the muffin mixture into the muffin cases until the cases are about two thirds full and then bake in the centre of the oven for about 18-20 minutes. They should be well risen and a golden brown colour.
