Everyone loves a muffin, don’t they? Well Harry does. So I decided all my savoury muffin variations should be pick ‘n’ mixed because they are absolutely ideal for using up leftover veggies. It is a Saturday after all, and while my Saturday’s used to be about long lunches, they are now all about clearing out the fridge. Aren’t they?
Wine tonight I think.
Nutrition Note: Savoury muffins can be a fun and healthy way to get fussy eaters to eat their vegetables.
Tip: Freeze muffins for school lunches, they will slowly defrost in the lunchbox just in time for lunch and also act as a cool pack to keep other food fresh.

These were a huge hit with all children and adults! The kids are looking forward to having them in their lunchboxes. Thank you for the recipe.

These were great… I used cornflour (I’m a coeliac), almond milk and a mix of veggies (beetroot, carrot, zucchini), chia seeds and the cheese I used was a mix of tasty and Danish feta… I also used coconut oil and added a but of coconut as the mix looked runny… I didn’t think they would work but they were fantastic – and because if the cornflour they didn’t rise hugely which is great! I sprinkled pepitas on the top and they looked quite pretty!

Hi Zoe, thanks for your comment. That’s great to know you can adapt the recipe so much and it still worked out fine. They sound lovely! Ax

How long do these keep if no frozen? In the oven right now 🙂

Can’t wait to try this for my little one. How long roughly do they keep in the freezer? Thanks
posted by Allie on November 10, 2013
1-2 months Lisa – try and double wrap them and store in a freezer proof bag to stop any freezer burn. Ax

Yum. I make something similar but more egg without the flour (like mini quiche) as my 3yr old is coeliac. I might try this with the rice flour too so they freeze well. The plain egg ones go abit watery if frozen.. Thanks 🙂

Can I use something in place of eggs? Id like to make these for preschool but they have a no egg policy
posted by Allie on December 9, 2013
Hi Nikki, Some egg replacer ideas…(I haven’t tried these myself but a few people on our Facebook page mentioned they use them)… mixing 1 tablespoon ground flax seed OR chia seeds mixed with 3 tablespoons hot water and left to soak for a few minutes can give you a sticky consistency similar to 1 egg. Or, 1/4 cup greek yoghurt per egg. I hope that helps, let us know how you go Ax

My teacher said we could add pine nuts to this recipe. How much can we add?
This recipe is really helpful, thanks!
It is a huge success with the different combinations.

Can I use butter instead of oil? If so, how much should I use?

Hello
I’m a bit of a noob.
If I was to make a savoury muffin, say, bacon, zuchinni and carrot, would chia seeds be ok to use too?
Anyone done this? Is the texture ok?

just doing it now so will let you know how they work out 😉

Love these. My favourite combo so far is red capsicum, zucchini, coriander, cumin and chia seeds.

What do you mean by pick n mix? Is that any ingredient? Or like a pick n mix bag?
Cheers

Pick ‘n’ mix is our fancy way of saying, choose your own ingredients 🙂 I hope you bub enjoyed. A x

Is cheese essential? Or could I use a substitute? Thanks 🙂
posted by Allie on June 23, 2015
You can use a substitute and should be fine. Ax
posted by Kim on February 15, 2016
Complete cooking novice here, what can you substitute for cheese? Are there any dairy free alternatives as we have allergies. Thanks

Hi, just wondering if ham goes alright as a substitute for the bacon and if anyone knows how much to use? Cheers
posted by Allie on July 19, 2015
Yes this recipe is really adaptable for you to use whatever ingredients. Ax

A fantastic recipe that we use regularly. My toddler loves them! They’re especially tasty with red capsicum. I’ve also used frozen spinach. I used to make mini muffins when my son first started eating finger food. They turned out really well, but could get a bit dry in the freezer. We use the big muffin tin now.
