Number of servings
2
1⁄3 cup (45g) self-rising flour (or gluten free)
1⁄8 cup (10g) nutritional yeast
1⁄8 cup rolled oats (or brown rice flakes or quinoa flakes if gluten free)
1⁄3 tsp baking powder
salt & pepper, to taste
1⁄3 carrot (medium) grated
1⁄2 cup (20g) baby spinach leaves shredded
1 scallion finely chopped
1⁄3 cup (40g) parmesan grated
1 2⁄3 large eggs
1⁄8 cup (42ml) milk, reduced fat (or dairy-free alternative)
Preheat oven to 355°F/fan-forced 325°F and spray a standard 12-hole (1/3 cup capacity) silicone muffin tray or muffin tin with oil.
Whisk flour, yeast, oats, baking powder and salt and pepper together in a large bowl.
Stir through carrot, spinach, scallions, three-quarters of the cheese (saving a little for topping) and season with salt and pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. Add to the dry mixture and stir to combine.
Divide mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin and top with remaining cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin.
Cool completely before storing refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
TIP: If not using a silicone muffin tray, it's best to line your metal one with paper liners to make sure they are easier to remove.
AIR FRYER METHOD:
Preheat air fryer to 320°F.
Ensure your muffin tin will fit in the air fryer, if not use a smaller tin, individual silicone muffin cups or ramekins and cook in batches. Spray tin with oil.
Follow recipe instructions from steps 2-4 and pour batter into prepared tin.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool for 5 minutes before removing from tin, cups or ramekins.
