Savoury Muffins Recipe

I adore Savoury Muffins and have yet to find any muffins that come close to the hearty New Zealand variety. For this week’s Family Meals idea I made a batch of savoury muffins with Cheese, Onion, Sweetcorn and Broccoli using a recipe I’ve had since my Uni days in Wellington.

These savoury muffins are great as a snack for hungry, active toddlers and children. And they’re perfect with a cup of tea when Mum and Dad need to take a rest!

Makes 12 Muffins
Prep Time 10 minutes. Cooking Time 20 minutes at 190 degrees Celcius fan bake.

You’ll Need:

• 2 cups Brown Self Raising Flour (I use Duchy Organic Brown Self Raising Flour)
• 2 free range Eggs
• 1 cup of Milk
• Sprinkle of Dried Herbs (I use an Italian mix)
• Drizzle of Olive Oil

Savoury Mix:

• 1 medium Red Onion
• 1 cup Sweetcorn (from frozen)
• 5 medium florets of Broccoli
• 1 cup grated Low Fat Mild Cheese

The delicious savoury muffin filling.

Let’s Make Savoury Muffins

1. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celcius fan bake.

2. Peel and chop the Onion. Saute in a small amount of Olive Oil until tender. Add Sweetcorn and cook for another couple of minutes.

3. Wash and finely cut the Broccoli. Boil for 30 seconds. Drain and let cool.

4. Grate 1 cup Low Fat Cheese.

5. Add the Flour, Dried Herbs, Onion, Sweetcorn and Broccoli into a mixing bowl. Gently stir in the Cheese. Create a well in the centre.

6. Whisk the Egg and Milk with a fork.

7. Add the Egg and Milk mixture into the well in the centre of the dry ingredients.

8. Gently mix the dry and wet ingredients, being careful not to over mix. It should be a stiff mixture.

9. Put spoonfuls of the muffin mixture into a lightly greased deep muffin tray.

10. Bake for 20 minutes at 190 degrees Celcius fan bake.

11. Serve warm from the oven or eat within a day. Perfect for packed lunches!
