Indian Spiced Carrot and Feta Muffins

Updated: Jan 8, 2020


Please, please try these muffins. They are an absolute taste sensation! Wholemeal, filled with natural ingredients, delicious and absolutely brilliant to crack out a batch (or 3) of these and have them to hand for snacks.


When I last made these, we went off for a swim shortly after they came out of the oven. I wasn’t fussed about the swim, I was focusing on the fact that I’d get home afterwards and munch on one of these with a giant cup of tea!


I love the subtle spice of cumin and coriander in t muffins and the sharp, tangy feta cheese just finishes them off an absolute treat!

Ingredients


80g unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus 10g for frying

2 tsp ground cumin

2 tbsp freshly chopped coriander
