I always have a bag of cornmeal handy in my pantry. We love corn bread and it can be made in a pinch for soups and stews. Sometimes I make savoury cornmeal muffins. They are simply delicious warm with lashings of butter! I also like to make these for the lunch box. They are easy to carry and not messy to eat especially on a really busy day. Just warm in the microwave and enjoy with your favourite beverage - healthy and nutritious on the go. Yumm!!
These crumbly moreish muffins will give you a real spice fix. As it is the end of the chili pepper season and we will now have to wait till next year for fresh peppers, I decided to make the most of my last batch of farm fresh poblanos and jalapenos!! The medley of these peppers with cumin makes for a truly fragrant and enjoyable treat for any savoury muffin lover. And did I mention, they are eggless too:)
