These are a savoury muffin – really tasty and good for you – win win! I think that they could be readily converted into sweet muffins, as both parsnip and sweetcorn are naturally pretty sweet. So After France I may be giving them a go as a sweet hidden veg cupcake treat! 😛
I tried using nutritional yeast in place of my diluted marmite mix. It didn’t give the same cheesy flavour as the marmite does so I will be returning to marmite in my savoury scones. Please don’t be put off by the marmite, in the muffins the flavour is converted into a yummy dairy-free cheese flavour! My partner HATES marmite and was pretty surprised to learn that all the savoury muffins he’s been enjoying had a dollop of marmite in them!
The recipe is gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free, soya-free, nut-free… and the result: tasty tasty tasty!
