Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

In large bowl, combine oats, basil, salt, pepper, Milk and eggs; let stand for 5 min. Meanwhile, peel carrot. Shred carrot and zucchini on the coarse side of a cheese or box grater and measure 1/2 cup (125 mL) of each. Add to Milk mixture in bowl.

Add ground meat and blend well with a fork. Scoop mixture evenly into 12-cup muffin pan. Pack lightly and flatten tops. Spread with ketchup or barbecue sauce.

Place muffin pan on a rimmed baking sheet to catch drips. Bake for 20 min or until thermometer inserted in centre of one registers at least 165°F (74°C). Remove from pan with two spoons, draining off excess liquid.
