This is my favourite muffin recipe. Light fluffy savoury muffins that satisfy those savoury cravings. Quick to make but they don't last long in our house as they are so yummy.

Key Ingredients

• cassava flour - a low carbohydrate flour.

• tiger nut flour - a beautifully textured flour with a nutty flavour.

• nutritional yeast - is a deactivated yeast with a nutty, cheesy flavour.

• carrot - natures sweetness, loaded with vitamin A and beta-carotene.


These muffins can easily be made with the addition of courgette and without bacon. If adding courgette make sure you squeeze out any moisture using a tea towel of thick paper towels.
