After-school cheesy muffins

Desperately searching for tempting after school snacks that aren't sugary... these were previously poo-poohed by the small recipient but this time they have gone down a storm and she's suggesting other things to put in "next time"...

Original recipe from Taming Twins

Oven to 200°C/180° fan
12-hole muffin tin, greased 
Dry ingredients (mix together in large bowl)

  • 250g self raising flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 small can sweetcorn, drained (160g)
  • 200g grated cheese (I used 150g which was plenty)
  • Adding to the recipe, I also chopped and chucked in some pepperoni left over from pizza making, and small chose to add in smoked paprika too. 
Wet ingredients (mix together in a jug)

  • 250ml milk (any)
  • 100ml oil (maybe a bit much?)
  • 2 medium eggs, beaten

Combine wet into dry until just mixed, then portion out into the muffin tin. Ours was nearly full but this recipe doesn't rise loads so it was all fine. After cooling for a few minutes in the tin, a quick knife around each one saw it pop out beautifully. They do feel a bit greasy to touch, though, so next time I would maybe reduce the oil a bit.

Most importantly, they got the "mmmm - delish!" seal of approval :)
