These Cheese and Corn Muffins make a great side dish or savoury lunchbox treat!
My boys love anything with corn and/or cheese it in, so I knew these Cheese and Corn Muffins were going to be a hit with them! While they enjoy them as a snack or lunchbox treat, these muffins also go perfectly served with soup or a casserole – especially this Slow Cooked Curried Beef and Vegetables!
If I want to ‘pretty’ these Cheese and Corn Muffins up, I will add a little chopped parsley to the top of the mixture before they go into the oven. However if your kids don’t like ‘green stuff’ then you can easily omit this. You can also use either tinned or fresh corn for this recipe, it really doesn’t matter! These muffins are also freezer friendly, making them a handy snack to fill hungry little tummies.
This recipe will make approximately 12 Cheese and Corn Muffins, however you can also use a mini muffin tray and you will get around 48 mini muffins – if you do cook small muffins, just make sure you check on them after they have been in the oven for 10 minutes or so, as the cooking time will obviously be a lot less than full sized muffins.
Enjoy!

I enjoyed making these and they tasted pretty good as well. My only suggestion for next time I make them is to add a little bit more milk as I found the mixture to be a bit dry.
They tasted like savoury scones so were a winner.
