Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 C and grease your muffin tin with coconut/olive oil or use muffin tin papers.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, dried herbs, salt and pepper. Then add the olive oil and water whisking to form a batter. (You can make the batter the night before and let it rest covered overnight)
- Fold in the olives, tomatoes, cheese or nutritional yeast into the batter.
- Using a small measuring cup, scoop the batter and fill each each muffin moulds almost to the top. (the muffins won’t rise so don’t worry)
- Bake for 30/35 minutes.
- Take out of the oven, let cool for a couple of minutes before removing the muffins from the tin.
- Serve them with some pesto or a dollop of coconut/almond or other yogurt of choice. You can also sprinkle some chopped smoked nuts and seeds on top for some added crunch.
- Can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer reheating as needed.
