Everyone loves freshly baked muffins, and these savoury treats pair cheese and crisp red onion for the ultimate morning or afternoon snack. Make a batch ahead of time and keep them stored in the freezer for a quick lunch box filler.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups Pams self raising flour

  • 1 tsp Pams baking powder

  • 1 ¼ cups grated cheese

  • 1 x 410g Pams tinned corn kernels, drained

  • ½ red onion, finely diced

  • 2 eggs

  • 100ml Pams rice bran oil

  • 250ml milk

  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley or basil, finely chopped

  • Chopped herbs and red onion, to garnish

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees celsius. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder. Add the ¾ of the grated cheese, corn kernels and red onion, then stir to combine.

  2. In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together the eggs, oil, milk and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, then pour into the dry mixture. Use a wooden spoon to mix until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.

  3. Evenly spoon the muffin mixture into a 12-hole lined or greased muffin tray. Top with cheese, place into the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and clean when tested with a skewer.

  4. Leave to cool for 15-20 minutes, then carefully remove from the tin and leave to cool completely. Garnish with herbs and red onion if desired, then enjoy or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
