Savory breakfast muffins

Savory muffins are a great solution for an on-the-go breakfast or an idea for an easy dinner when you are tired of your regular evening routine. You will not have to wash many dishes either for this easy recipe, just one bowl and a spoon.

These muffins can be vegan if you switch the 2 eggs to applesauce (¾ cup applesauce). The recipe is somewhat healthy too because of the use of oats. If you want to take it one step healthier, you can switch the flour to spelt flour.

The recipe can work with any toppings as well like cut vegetables, olives, cheese, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds etc. In general, any pizza topping can work here too. I used peppers, olives, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds. If you are picky, it can also be plain but I think a topping really adds flavor to these savory muffins.

The muffins can be baked in a cupcake tin or in paper muffin cases. No difference in the outcome.

Tips

Experiment with Toppings

While the recipe suggests peppers, olives, sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds, feel free to get creative! Try different combinations of toppings like sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, or chopped herbs for added flavor and texture.

Customize the Seasonings

Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. Additionally, you can add a dash of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or dried herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano to enhance the savory profile of the muffins.

Texture Matters

Don't overmix the batter; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Overmixing can lead to dense and tough muffins. Aim for a unified batter with just enough mixing to combine the ingredients evenly.

Watch the Baking Time

Keep an eye on the muffins as they bake. Oven temperatures can vary, so your muffins may be ready before or after the suggested baking time. They're done when they turn golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.

Storage and Reheating

These muffins are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in the microwave for a few seconds or in a toaster oven until heated through.

Serve with Accompaniments

These savory muffins are delicious on their own, but they also pair well with a variety of accompaniments. Serve them alongside a fresh salad, soup, or as part of a brunch spread with eggs and avocado for a satisfying meal.

Double the Batch

If you're baking for a crowd or want to have extra muffins on hand, double the recipe and freeze the extras. Once cooled completely, wrap the muffins individually in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag or airtight container.
