Description

Fluffy, cheesy, and packed with corn and spring onions, these savory muffins are perfect for brunch, lunchboxes, or a warm afternoon snack. Serve them fresh from the oven with a smear of butter — they disappear fast!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cups blending flour (or cake flour, both work fine)
  • 30 ml (2 Tbsp) baking powder
  • 10 ml (2 tsp) salt
  • 3 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
  • 2 tins sweet corn kernels, drained
  • 810 spring onions, finely chopped
  • Ground coriander, to taste
  • 500 ml (2 cups) buttermilk
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 160 ml (2/3 cup) oil (canola or sunflower works well)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line or grease your muffin tin. I like using paper liners because cleanup’s a breeze.
  2. In a big mixing bowl, add 4 cups of flour, 30 ml of baking powder, 10 ml of salt, 3 ½ cups of grated cheddar, and 2 tins of corn. Give it a quick mix, so the cheese doesn’t clump.
  3. Toss in the chopped spring onions and a good pinch (or two) of ground coriander for that cozy hint of warmth.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together 500 ml buttermilk, 2 beaten eggs, and 160 ml oil until it looks smooth and creamy.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix. Stir gently; just enough to combine everything. Don’t overmix, or your muffins might turn dense.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into your prepared muffin tin. It’ll fill about 32 muffin cups.
  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes, until they’re puffed and golden on top.
  8. Let them rest for 5 minutes in the tin before transferring to a rack. They’re irresistible warm, especially with a little butter melting into every bite.
