baking recipe

Bacon and onion muffins

I mentioned the other day how I really want to make more things for us to eat, less baking and more savoury would be good! The latest challenge from Foodies100 was perfectly timed, to come up with a new recipe for breakfast time using Almond Breeze almond milk.

Breakfast is a tricky meal as the children are starving and I find it stressful ensuring they get something nutritious quickly. No matter how much food I give the toddler he is permanently hungry so I thought I would make a savoury muffin which would be equally great for my husband to grab as he walks out the door.

 

Bacon and onion muffins

Ingredients:

3 eggs

230g self-raising flour

275ml almond milk

125g bacon, chopped

1/2 onion, chopped

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon chopped parsley

Method:

Mix the eggs, bacon, onion and parsley in a bowl. Add the flour and mix well before adding the almond milk.

Divide the mixture between your muffin cases and cook in a pre-heated oven at 180° for 25 minutes.

 

We all enjoyed these for breakfast. My husband ate his with scrambled eggs made with some yummy almond milk, and the toddler finished his off with a glass of almond milk. A good breakfast all round 🙂

Unsweetened Almond Breeze almond milk is a low-calorie dairy alternative. There are three Almond Breeze products in the range, which also features original and chocolate. All the milks are made from the finest almonds from sun-soaked California and they contain all of their superfood goodness.

    Scrummy. Never thought of using almond milk before, I’ll have to look into it.

    Oh wow bacon and onion and muffin – three of my favourite things all wrapped up together! I guess it would work with cow’s milk too?

    would not have thought of trying a (unsweetened) sweet milk with savoury, will need to add a bit of cheese to this and try it
