Savoury Vegetable Muffins have the goodness of vegetables and semolina, which is rich in protein, B vitamins and fiber, which makes it a very healthy bake!!
1/3cupSweet corn kernelsI used frozen sweet corn, so I boiled them before using in the recipe
1EggSubstitute it with 1/4 cup yogurt to make it eggless
1/4cupYogurt
1/4cupOlive oilI used Extra Virgin Olive Oil here
1/4cupShredded cheeseI used Mexican blend cheese here, substitute it with Cheddar cheese if available, or any other
1 1/2tspMixed spicesI used a sprinkle of - Black pepper powder, Italian Seasoning, Red Chili Flakes and Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute. But feel free to use any favorite spices.
1/2tspBaking powder
1/2tspBaking soda
Saltto taste
2TbspWaterAs per batter consistency needed, I used 2 Tbsp
Instructions
Sift together semolina, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Dry ingredients are ready.
In another bowl, whisk egg and add oil and yogurt to it. Now slowly add dry ingredients to this mixture and let it rest for 5 minutes. Semolina tends to absorb the moisture, so add 1 or 2 Tbsp of water in the batter so that it does not look dry. Batter will be thick at this stage.
Now add the vegetables - grated carrots, chopped spinach and boiled corn kernels into the batter. Also, add cheese into this batter along with spices and mix well.
Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Scoop out 2-3 tablespoons of the batter and pour in the lined muffin cups. (I got 10 muffins out of this mixture)
Once the oven is preheated, bake the muffins in the oven for around 30 minutes.
(Optional) Broil for 1-2 minutes for getting the brown crusty top.
Remove the muffins from the oven, and allow them to cool before serving. The semolina veggie muffins are ready to be relished. Serve with any sauce or dip of your choice.
Notes
Vegetables- This recipe can be made in different forms, with varying vegetables. I am using grated carrots, chopped spinach and sweet corn kernels here. But you can add any possible veggie combination, whatever your kitchen pantry stocks at that time.
Cheese- Also, you can try different variation of cheese. I am using Trader Joe's Mexican blend cheese here, but go for whatever is available with you.
This recipe can be made into an eggless one by substituting the egg in the recipe with 1/4th cup of yogurt.
