Do you remember the old school lunches you used to have as a kid, with the classic Vegemite sandwich (without crusts, of course!) and the healthy apple you’d trade for your friends Roll-Up (it still counts as fruit)? Well, here’s a treat you can create a packed lunch with for adults and kids alike—cheese, basil and black pepper muffins!
Ingredients
- 2 Weet-Bix
- 2 cups self-raising flour
- Sprinkle of salt
- Lots of cracked pepper
- 1 ½ heaped cups grated chedder cheese
- 1 handful fresh basil leaves
- 3 eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ½ tsp baking powder
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC and grease a muffin tin.
- In a large mixing bowl, crumble the Weet-Bix into fine crumbs using your hands. Add the flour, baking powder, salt and black pepper and whisk to combine. Add the cheese and basil and make a well in the centre of the bowl.
- Whisk the eggs in a separate, smaller mixing bowl. Add the milk and stir to combine.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture into the well and gently fold the ingredients until the flour is incorporated.
- Spoon the mixture into the greased muffin holes, filling the mixture about 3/4 of the way.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes (rotating the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking) until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
