Savory Muffins

Makes 12 servings

Who says muffins have to be sweet? These tasty morsels are a great way to use up leftover vegetables (and to sneak some vegetables to picky children). Instead of carrots, use 2/3 cup of any finely chopped cooked vegetable you like—say, broccoli, spinach, zucchini, or cauliflower.

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup Original Malt-O-Meal® cereal, uncooked
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 large carrot, grated (2/3 cup)
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan, sharp cheddar, or other strong-flavored cheese
  • 2 scallions, finely chopped

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin, or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cereal, and baking powder.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together broth, egg, oil, and soy sauce; pour into flower mixture and stir just to moisten evenly. Stir in carrot, 1/2 cup of the cheese, and the scallions; stir just until blended.
  4. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling them 2/3 full. Sprinkle tops with remaining 2 tablespoons cheese. Bake until lightly browned and firm, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.
