Thumbs up Nutty Cheese Muffins

Had an idea and thought I'd give it a try. This recipe is the end result - they taste similar to a wholemeal roll and would be great with butter and cheese, or pate!



Nutty Cheese Muffins

Makes 12 muffins
Just under 1g carbs per muffin

4 oz / 100g ground almonds
4 oz / 100g walnuts
3 oz / 75g butter, softened
4 oz grated cheese
4 eggs
1 tsp baking powder

Pre-heat the oven to 350°F/180°C/Gas 4, and also grease a 12-hole muffin/Yorkshire pudding tin with olive oil.

In a food processor, process the walnuts until they resemble ground crumbs. Add the rest of the ingredients and process until thoroughly mixed. The mixture should be of a soft dropping consistency. If the mixture is dry, add a little bit of water until the right consistency is achieved.

Spoon a desert spoonful into each hole of the tin. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.

When ready, remove from the oven and leave to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin.

Kewl! Now does anyone have a conversion chart? Need to know what all those ounces are in cups? lol Whats a dessert spoon? I thought you would have to fill a muffin tin at least half to 3/4 of the way ....no?

Try this site for conversions:

A dessert spoon is slightly smaller than a tablespoon.

Well these do come up to about 3/4 of the way in my 12-hole pan ... perhaps a UK muffin pan is smaller than a US one??? !!!

For reference - these muffins keep very well in an airtight container in the fridge. The last one from the batch I cooked last week, was still fine to eat this morning

Conversions charts SUCK! lol ok so the closest I could figure out was

4 0z of ground almond is 8 tbsp?
3 oz butter is 6 tbsp?

etc.....is that about right? I measure in cups, tsp etc, this ounce stuff is lost on me.

Thanks

I think that 4oz is about half a cup, but it does depend on the ingredient being measured - if you ask in kitchen help, i'm sure somebody else will know for sure.

In case anyone is interested, I've now also made this as a 'loaf'. I followed the recipe exactly as above, then put the mixture into a loaf tin and cooked it adding an extra 10 minutes to the original cooking time.

It cuts and also toasts beautifully

Demi what an absolutely fab recipe.

Where do you buy the almond flour from as I used whole almonds but a struggle to powder them.

Thanks for a fab recipe
