    Gluten FreeLow Carb

    These delicious savoury cheese muffins are a great savoury start to the day.  Try one for a keto breakfast on the go. Baked with coconut flour and flavoured with cheese, chive and onion these low carb and gluten free muffins are very moreish too!

    This is now my favourite savoury muffin recipe as I just love the cheese and onion flavour combinations and this stops any weakness that I may have for a cheese and onion roll/pastry.  It has the same flavour tastes, with none of that bad, bad pastry.  Even better, is that because this is made out of coconut flour it is very filling and is perfect for keeping you going all morning.   They also make a great side dish to tomato soup, but one muffin is enough to fill you up with a bowl of soup too!

    savoury cheese muffin

    My tip is to bake a batch of them and keep them in the freezer.  Take one out before you go to work and by the time you get there, it should be ready to eat (or you can zap it in the microwave for a hot treat).  You are then set for the day!

      Question. This recipe uses baking soda. But your Tomato, Basil, Parmesan Muffins uses baking powder. Since the base ingredients are almost the same, I was wondering why you used baking soda in this recipe instead of baking powder? Love the Tomato, Basil, Parmesan Muffins, BTW!

        You could use both but I found the baking soda gave a bit more of a lift with a heavier cheese. Happy you enjoy the Tomato muffins!

      Came out great! Similar taste and texture to a quiche. I sprinkled some paprika on the top with the cheese. Some pimentos mixed into the batter would be nice!

      Very good muffins, I might try with a little smoked paprika next time. I made these in mini muffin cups and baked for 10mins, a little too small so I definitely recommend regular muffin size and double or triple the recipe. Thanks again for a good recipe! 🙂

      Oh, I just made the mistake of reading this before I have made my breakfast. I'm going to have to go shopping for the ingredients RIGHT NOW!
