These Savoury Mediterranean Muffins (aka Pizza Muffins) are the perfect Summer side or snack. They’re filled with sundried tomatoes, olives, spring onions, garlic and oregano. Spread with butter and serve with soup or a delicious bean salad, or top with cheese and chutney.
I love eating these Savoury Muffins with a delicious plant based salad, like my Cannellini Bean salad.
These muffins are completely vegan, they bind together with the help of a Flaxseed Egg which are really quick and easy to make. They’re also perfect for meal prepping and are great for lunch boxes.
I’ve always struggled with savoury vegan snacks. I’ve always tended to resort to no bake bars, yoghurt bowls and granola bars, so I wanted to create a savoury snack option that was actually delicious. Enter: these delicious savoury muffins which taste like pizza in muffin form!
