Notes
What’s better than gluten-free cheesy carrot and zucchini muffins?
I love savoury muffins, especially when they’re lovely and cheesy, served warm with lashings of butter.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a savoury muffin recipe although I’ve posted plenty of recipes that are cooked in muffin-shaped tins, because they’re an ideal size for a portable lunch.
So, in honour of the new school year, here’s a recipe for gluten-free cheesy carrot and zucchini muffins, packed with veggies for fibre and vitamin C, and dairy for calcium and protein.
These muffins will freeze and defrost really well and have a strong and spongy texture. Send them to school with some veggie sticks for a well-rounded lunch.

Yum. I’ll take a savoury muffin over a sweet one any day!
Absolutely delightful, changes I made, buckwheat instead of sorghum, 100g of cheese instead of 200g and had no pysllium husk so left it out,though maybe I could have use ground flax seed. Thank uou for a lovely savory muffin.
Thanks for the feedback – glad it was a success!
