These are ridiculous! I rarely write reviews, but these are too good! I have so many dietary restrictions that breakfast is often kind of a nightmare. This recipe is a lifesaver. I replaced the parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast because the only dairy I can have is grass fed butter or ghee. The batter is so easy to make. I plan on trying these with other vegetable combinations as well.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this recipe!!!

If you want to make mini muffins do you cut down on cooking time?
Reply
Angela Coleby
Yes, I'd reduce it by 5-10 minutes.

These look so good! Do you think they would also work with sun-dried tomatoes? Would I have to make any adjustments?
Reply
Angela Coleby
Ooh yes they will. I'd chop them up fine to add to this recipe. It should taste great. Hope you enjoy them!

I'm allergic to tree nuts can I use regular flour?
Reply
Angela Coleby
Yes you could. You may need to increase the volume though.

Can you use almond flour instead of coconut flour?
Thanks!
Reply
Angela Coleby
You could but you would need to increase the quantity.

Delicious! Thank you so much, Btw I didn't cut the cherry tomatoes at all, subbed the butter with extra virgin olive oil and used some small pieces of tomatoes onto the muffins. Turned out very tender and moist 🙂

Is it baking powder or baking soda? Ingredients list powder but instructions say soda.

Baking soda is bicarbonate of soda Lynn. It's also great as a cleaning agent!

trying them now! Needed something more than a ceasar salad for dinner. Question, you talk about cheddar cheese, chives, and spring onions but don't mention in the ingredients. How much of them did you intend?
