Did you parents ever make you eat something disgusting when you were younger?

Mine didn’t, or not that I can remember. What I do remember is a specific drink my grandma made my brother and I drink. My grandparent’s office was filled with books on nutrition and various jars filled with fragrant dried herbs. I liked the room. It was interesting and smelled of wet earth. Their interest in health meant they frequently followed various health-fads. But, it was a specific juice-craze that I feel victim.

My grandmother plucked handfuls of dill from the garden outside the kitchen window. Throwing it into a blender she created a thick concoction. She would place the lumpy green drink in front of me. For health, “egészségért!” she exclaimed in Hungarian enthusiastically. As a child, I ate everything on my plate and rarely threw tantrums. This occasion was the exception.

Although I have recovered from the ordeal, smelling fresh dill gives me mixed emotions. I have waves of fear as if somebody is going to force me to drink a thick and poorly-blended dill smoothie. On the other-hand, it reminds me of my grandma, and I can’t help but smile.

When I first began developing these Veggie Egg Free Savoury Muffins, there was something specific missing from the recipe. At times I tried parsley and oregano, but I found that dill added a complexity in flavour the muffins needed.

The fragrant herb pairs with the muffins perfectly, so much so that without it, the savoury muffins wouldn’t quite be the same.

In the end, no force feeding is required, I quite easily devour the entire plate. 😉

In fact (true story) while photographing these images I became so hungry I ate a few of the muffins so I had to photoshop the same muffin a few times. Can you tell?

VEGGIE MUFFIN TIPS:

CAN SAVOURY MUFFINS BE FROZEN? Yes, they are delightful when defrosted and re-warmed in the oven! I suggest you omit the pumpkin seeds from this recipe however as they can become a little soggy when thawed.

HOW TO STORE SAVOURY MUFFINS? Although the muffins can safely be left on the counter in an air-tight container, to practice consistent food-safety and hygiene I recommend that they are stored in the fridge.

HOW TO MAKE SAVOURY MUFFINS WITHOUT EGGS?Egg free alternatives to baking usually include lots of oil or applause. A fail-proof alternative to egg-free muffins is by replacing the eggs with baking-soda and apple cider vinegar. Previously I mixed the baking-soda and apple cider vinegar separately and then added it to the muffin batter. The recipe works perfectly however when these ingredients are incorporated in to the same bowl with the other ingredients.

CREATE DAIRY FREE MUFFINS with almond milk, coconut or soy milk as an easy vegan variation. Replace the cheese with a vegan equivalent or remove completely.

EXPERIMENT WITH THE FLAVOURS! Instead of Zucchini & Carrot, why not mix it up a bit and try roast pumpkin, sundried tomatoes or even Caramelised Onion and Pea Muffins?
