Recipe: Carrot and Apple Muffins and a Review of the Tefal Fresh Express

Yesterday I shared my Refrigerator Grocery Staples with you - and today I'm sharing a delicious recipe and my favourite kitchen gadget of the moment!

This recipe is a winner - it contains both a fruit and a vegetable and is so delicious no one will ever know. That means it's perfect for fussy kids (or partners! ;P). 

But, you're probably like me and thinking My gosh.. think of all that grating - uggh. That's where my favourite kitchen gadget comes into play.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a Tefal Fresh Express from my friends at Kitchenware Direct.

The Tefal Fresh express is basically an electric grater - it does all of the work for you.

At first I thought I'd use it for recipes like Carrot Cake Oatmeal and Zucchini Banana Muffins - but little did I know I would be using it daily. 

The Fresh Express makes it really easy to add extra veggies to everything - I am always grating up carrots or zucchinis and adding them into what I'm cooking.

Here's a quick video of the different blades (there's 5 for different types of foods and grating needs) and to show you how quickly it grates! The Tefal Fresh Express definitely halved the prep time for this recipe - all I had to do was slightly chop up the apple and peel the carrot and it was time to grate. The only slight problem was that it wasn't a fan of the apple peel but that came out of the machine without any trouble. Now lets get onto the recipe, shall we? 

Here's the recipe! >>
