These breakfast muffins are perfect for those of you who don’t have much of a sweet tooth and would prefer a savoury breakfast, they make a nice change from toast and they are also packed with veggies making them a heathy option too. I like to eat these muffins as a brunch or lunch with a salad or stuffed pepper and they’ll also make a great snack. These savoury muffins are fluffy, tasty, filling and healthy. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Ingredients

Wet ingredients

280ml plant based milk

60ml rapeseed or sunflower oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

2 courgettes (grated)

1 red pepper chopped into small pieces

Dry ingredients

250g spelt flour and 50g self raising flour sifted and mixed together OR use 300g buckwheat for gluten free

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

1 teaspoon of the following spices; paprika, cumin and coriander

Optional pinch of chilli flakes for a warm chilli hit

Sunflower/pumpkin seeds to decorate

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 180 C

  • Line a muffin tin with cases (you should have enough for 12 muffins)

  • In a large bowl mix the wet ingredients together

  • Add the veggies and give another stir

  • Add the dry ingredients and mix together until the mixture is lump free and completely combined.

  • Divide into the muffin cases add seeds if you have them and bake for around 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are nice and golden (double check they are cooked all the way through by inserting a sharp knife into the middle, if it comes out clean then they’re ready)

Leave to cool slightly and then enjoy either hot or cold, they are best eaten on the same day but will keep for a few days - due to the fresh veggies they will start to go mouldy if you don’t consume them within a couple of days so make sure you eat them all up quickly :)

If you do make these then I hope you love them
