Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | GF savoury muffins: Ruchie, Amy, Abby, Augie.....and all...

Hi again.

I had SO MUCH fun cooking today, was just what the soul needed

I made some delicious savoury muffins, recipes as promised Ruchie.

Peppered zucchini, carrot and leek muffins

1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium leek, sliced
1 zucchini, grated
1 carrot, grated
2 tsp garlic
2 cups GF self raising flour
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
3 tbsp oil, extra
2 eggs lightly beaten
1 cup rice or soy milk (I didn't need a whole cup tho, so just pour in enough to make a batter)

Heat oil in pan, add leek, zucchini, carrot and garlic, cook stirring until leek is soft and liquid evaporated.

Sift flour, curry powder and spices into a bowl, stir in zucchini mixture, then eggs, oil and milk.

Spoon mixture into pan, bake in moderately hot oven about 20 mins.

Roasted capsicum, chickpea and spinach muffins

1 tbsp oil
1 onion, finely chopped (optional)
2 tsp garlic
2 cups baby spinach
2 red capsicum
2 cups SR flour
1 cup cornmeal
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh basil
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups rice or soy milk
1/4 cup oil, extra
300g can chickpeans, drained and rinsed

Quarter capsicums, remove seeds and membranes. Grill, skin side up, until skin blisters and blackens. Peel skin away, roughly chop.

Heat oil in pan, add onion and garlic, cook stirring until onion is soft. Add spinach, cook until spinach is just wilted.

Sift flour and cornmeal into a bowl, stir in basil, egg, milk and oil, then spinach mixture, capsicum and chickpeas.

Spoon mixture into pan, bake in moderately hot oven about 20 mins.

I find these muffins are a perfect way to get lots of veges in my diet. They might not quite be your thing, so if they sound a bit too adventerous, try:

Just adding 2 grated carrots & 2 zucchinis to the basic muffin mixture above (which is the SR flour, oil, eggs and milk).

Or try grated carrot and banana.

If you can't get GF self raising flour, then use 1 tbsp GF baking powder to every 2 cups of plain flour (eg rice, corn, buckwheat, potato, tapioca).

Happy cooking!!
