On the Go Cheesy Spinach and Corn Muffins with Olive oil
Ok ok…I admit I am suffering from the healthy eating syndrome at this juncture of my life and I swear I am enjoying it. Well for all my bakes I have always substituted oil for butter except for all the special occasions that I bake for. My aim is to switch to whole wheat Flour and other grains subsequently mainly to practice healthy eating and reap the health benefits.
This Monday our Foodie Monday team has prepared all bite size foods, basically any food that can be served in bite size portions or which can be savoured in a bite. I decided to go for savoury Muffins, perfect for an on the go breakfast or as a tea time snack with your hot cuppa of tea.
Healthy spinach with crunchy corn and bell peppers and packed with cheesy deliciousness that you can grab and go anytime.You can pop them into kids lunchboxes or make them eat as an after school snack too.The secret ingredient that takes the Muffins to a whole new level is the humble stock cube …it gives a burst of flavour to the the Muffins. And the best part is you just need a bowl and a hand held whisk to mix everything and pop it into the oven.
These savoury , bite size, fluffy Muffins go as an entry for the 75th Foodie Monday Bloghop for the theme Bite size Foods.

Lovely recipe Saswati…. can I substitute corn with corn meal?
Thanks Rini ..yes you can use half corn meal and half Apf but you can’t substitute corn with cornmeal ..there’s no need to add corn if you don’t have it.
Beautiful presentation Saswati and muffins looks delicious.
Loved the combination 👌🏻Awesome share!
