Savoury Muffins

This is a good way to use up leftover vegetables. Any mix of vegetables will work, however, some colourful capsicum, pumkin or carrot make them look nice. I have also added defrosted corn kernels if I do not have enough leftover vegetables. These muffins freeze well and benefit from being warmed in the microwave

The muffins are delicious served warm with butter and maybe relish for a snack or light lunch, and are also good with a bowl of soup.

A sprinkle of pepitas and sesame seeds add a nutty crunch.

I like to use the cafe style muffin papers as they are deeper, fit easily inside the muffin tins and peel of easily. They are in the supermarket in a box with the other cupcake/patty/muffin papers

These are the vegetables that I used.
In the container - some roast sweet potato,and pumpkin, steamed brussel sprouts, broccolini and beans.
