Gluten Free Cheese and Bacon Breakfast Muffins

These gluten free savoury muffins are delicious straight out the oven but also freeze well to be warmed again another day.

As usual, a clash of international ingredients, Indian chickpea flour, Mexican masa lista, Thai tapioca flour and Spanish smoked paprika, they all come together to make a light gluten free muffin that I think is hard to tell apart from a regular muffin!

For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add 20g chopped fresh chives.

Makes 12 muffins.

Ingredients

75g chickpea flour/besan

50g tapioca flour

100g masa lista, Mexican cornflour

In a jug, combine the milk, yogurt and egg, beat well.

In a large bowl, combine the chickpea flour, tapioca flour, masa lista, baking powder, salt, smoked paprika,  cheese and  most of the bacon, combine until the cheese and bacon has a floury coating.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix gently.

Spoon the mixture into the prepared cases, you need to fill the cases to the top, unlike regular muffins.
