These delicious savoury muffins from The Cook and Him are packed with the flavour and goodness of pea flour and fresh red peppers and spinach. They're perfect for a lunchbox or afternoon snack.

Green pea flour has a lovely pale green hue and subtle pea flavour, perfect for both sweet and savoury baking. It’s great for batters, pancakes, bhajis, dhosas and makes quick and easy soups, sauces and dips. It works exceptionally well here with eggs and cheese for a satisfying savoury flavour.

Makes 12 muffins

Ingredients
