Enhance my blog posts format
It’s been a while since I posted a on Instagram and promised to share this healthy and super tasty recipe with you. Why so long? Well, I wanted to fix some issues on my blog posts to make them easier to read, share and print the recipes. The main hope is that that you try and create them in your own kitchen – and tell me how they taste!
So what have I improved?
- I merged my recipes and my blog posts together so that the reader doesn’t need to click to other page to get the recipe. This is a big improvement, I think.
- I added a user-friendly button – ‘Jump to recipes’ at the top of each post so that my readers can short cut when they are in a hurry to get the tasty recipe.
- I added my baking videos onto some of my posts so that the readers can watch how I actually bake the cake and they can follow what I do in the videos.
Please take a look and let me know if it is better! Feedback needed. Thanks!
Go back to the main topic – Healthy Savoury Sweetcorn and Carrot Muffins
I can say that this is the most moist (that’s hard to say!) and tasty savoury muffins that I have ever had. First of all, I like sweetcorn very much and it is a big plus to have this favourite ingredient in it. The carrots seem strange to have in a muffin but they give body a moisture and they do not have a strong flavour. If your kids don’t like eating veggies, this is a MUST try recipe. It is perfect for lunch boxes or to take out for a picnic!
If you have sweet tooth or just want to indulgent yourself, I highly recommend you try my Lemon Coconut Muffins (Gluten Free & Refined Sugar Free) and Banana Chocolate Chips Muffins (Gluten Free & Refined Sugar Free). They both are super easy to make and scrumptiously delicious. I’m sure these recipes definitely won’t let you down!
Happiness is…a freshly baked muffin.
An Allergy and Food Intolerance Choice
If you have any sort of food intolerance, you can use gluten free flour instead of normal all-purpose flour. I tried this recipe with a one-to-one gluten free flour. It works fine. I personally like more. Perhaps the normal all-purpose flour gives the muffins slightly more moisture and fluffy texture but gluten free really works well too.
In addition, you can use non-dairy milk and non-dairy spread instead of the normal dairy products. I tried this recipe using unsweetened almond milk and a non-dairy spread. Frankly, it tasted not much different from the recipe using regular ingredients.
So these are some alternatives suggestions. If you or your family have any sort of special diets, please READ the product labels first to MAKE SURE the ingredients are suitable for you and your family to eat.
Healthy Savoury Sweetcorn & Carrot Muffins (Gluten Free & Dairy Free)
INGREDIENTS
- 2 pcs medium eggs
- 150 ml non-dairy milk (unsweetened almond milk or unsweetened soy milk)
- 75 g dairy free spread
- 140 g sweetcorn
- 1 pc large carrot (grated)
- 250 g gluten free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cube vegetable stock
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 170°C and line a muffin tin with 12 muffin cases.
- Melt the butter in a low heat. Add the vegetable stock until it dissolve in the butter. Set aside and leave it cool.
- For the dry ingredients, sift the flour, baking powder and smoked paprika. Mix well.
- For the wet ingredients, gently whisk the eggs, stir in the milk and melted butter mixture. Add the sweetcorn and grated carrot and mix well.
- Finally, add the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix well.
- Use an ice-cream scoop to divide the mixture the 12 muffin cases and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through. (stuck a skewer into the middle should come out clean)
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack.
- Serve them warm or cool the muffins completely and store them in an airtight container for maximum 2 days or freeze individually and leave out to defrost overnight in the fridge before serving.
NOTES
- If you or your family does not have any special diet issue, you can use normal dairy products, flour and butter instead of the gluten free and dairy free products.
- If you do not have smoked paprika, you can use paprika instead.
- Each oven is different, preheat the oven between 170°C and 180°C is fine.
