A savoury muffin made with coconut flour, keeping it low in carbs, gluten free and high in fibre. The flavour combination of tomato, basil and Parmesan cheese make this a delicious breakfast or snack.
I keep playing with my favourite savoury muffin recipe as I adore them as an alternative to bread rolls with soup and also for a "on the go" breakfast. I am not hungry when I wake up, but by the time I have suffered the morning commute I am, so they are perfect to munch on then. This version is fresh with tomato and basil and a dash of Parmesan. Since this is made out of coconut flour it is very filling and is perfect for keeping you going all morning. Coconut Flour Muffins

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!

If you want to make mini muffins do you cut down on cooking time?
Angela Coleby
Yes, I'd reduce it by 5-10 minutes.
Lori D.
These look so good! Do you think they would also work with sun-dried tomatoes? Would I have to make any adjustments?
Angela Coleby
Ooh yes they will. I'd chop them up fine to add to this recipe. It should taste great. Hope you enjoy them!
Diane
I'm allergic to tree nuts can I use regular flour?
Angela Coleby
Yes you could. You may need to increase the volume though.
Tami
Can you use almond flour instead of coconut flour?
Thanks!
Angela Coleby
You could but you would need to increase the quantity.
Stephanie Choo
Delicious! Thank you so much, Btw I didn't cut the cherry tomatoes at all, subbed the butter with extra virgin olive oil and used some small pieces of tomatoes onto the muffins. Turned out very tender and moist 🙂
Steph
Tried this recipe today and they were a hit for everyone in the family! My daughter (aged 7) is most insistent I make more for her school lunches. Thanks for sharing.
Angela Coleby
Thank you! Your daughter has good taste! 😉
Elaine
These are my favorite savory muffins. Plus they freeze well and reheat easily!
Gail
Is it baking powder or baking soda? Ingredients list powder but instructions say soda.
Angela Coleby
Powder., I do that all the time! Must correct it.
Donna Howard
Do you cut tomatoes in half

Baking soda is bicarbonate of soda Lynn. It's also great as a cleaning agent!
themissespots
trying them now! Needed something more than a ceasar salad for dinner. Question, you talk about cheddar cheese, chives, and spring onions but don't mention in the ingredients. How much of them did you intend?
Divalicious
Aha, that was part of another recipe..have now corrected this!
Amanda
Ooh these sound fantastic and savory!

Hope you enjoy them!
