Savoury Cheese Muffins

When my friend brought these Savoury Cheese Muffins to a picnic they were a big hit! When I asked her for the recipe she explained it was from her mum and sent me a a pic of the recipe written up 25 years ago in her old recipe book.

Some of the measurements were missing, including the amount of flour, but her mum suggested to just add enough flour to make a semi thick mixture : )

As usual mums back then never wrote down recipes, they just went by look, smell and taste.

This is my adapted, ad libbed version which I recently took to a picnic and they went down a treat!

Note the dried mint goes perfectly with the cheeses and gives the muffin a lightness and lift.

These are perfect for breakfast, lunchboxes and are just delicious dipped into soup.

Many of the ingredients in this recipe can be sourced from my one-stop-favourite, organic wholefoods online store, The Wholefood Collective. They go to great lengths to ensure everything they source is amazing quality, they stock all my favorite products and I don’t even have to leave the house! Oh and the cherry on the cake is they donate profits to improve food security for vulnerable Aussies.

Here are some of the ingredients you’ll need:

Spelt flour
Aluminum-free baking powder
Bicarb soda
Extra virgin olive oil
Black pepper
