I have been on a search for new recipes I can use in my Bella Cakeball Maker. Finnegan loves banana bread made in it, and I thought I could work on finding a savory recipe that would include vegetables and be a better option for his lunches. I came across a couple lot of muffin recipes and came up with my own recipe out of them. These can be made into mini muffins, but I make them into bread balls.

Carrot, Zucchini & Mushroom Bread Balls

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup zucchini, shredded
1 cup carrot, shredded
1 cup mushroom, diced
1/2 cup mozzarella
1 tsp ground garlic
1 tsp ground oregano
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
3 tbsp olive oil

Mix all of the dry ingredients with the vegetables. Pour in the wet ingredients and mix everything together.  Heat up cake ball maker. Put in about 1 tbsp of batter per hole and let cook for 4 minutes a batch. Check the balls to make sure they are cooked in the middle. If they aren’t finished, give them another minute or so. These freeze well and can easily be warmed up in the microwave to be packed for lunches.

If baking muffins, prepare muffin tins with cooking spray. Bake in a 350°F oven for 15 – 20 minutes.

Serve with your favorite red sauce.
