  @reena. Silicone ones are great. Couldn’t be without ours.

  Yummy, simple, quick and pretty versatile! BUT they stuck to the cases like glue so picking and peeling them apart was rubbish...any ideas on how to remedy this??

  Gorgeous! Very easy and simple to make, quick enough to prepare. Did a practice run before deciding if they're picnic worthy and I'll definitely be making more to take with us next week! The only problem I found is they really stick to muffin cases, however I did use extra mature cheddar and I have noticed my last batch of cupcakes stuck to the cases too so I'm fairly certain the cases are just quite rubbish or I'm rubbish haha

  Beautiful savoury cupcakes although i used mozzarella cheese instead of cheddar by mistake it still tasted fantastic. i didnt add anything else as my kids are pretty fussy. im thinking of making these again on sunday im going to use cheddar cheese and im thinking of adding onions aswell to put a twist on it. i love cheese n onion pasties so we'll see if these taste just as good. oh and before i go.. it took me literally less that 5 mins to bang everything together and put them in the oven.

  We usually have a snack between mums and tots and nursery, usually just toast and fruit or sandwiches. However i made these cheesy muffins as a snack and they were so popular .....i had two!!

  I was encouraged by the positive reviews however on making these thought there was far too little wet ingredients vs dry. Thought I must be wrong as all 5* reviews saying how amazing they were. Unfortunately they didn't rise and turned out like dense little cakes. Still tasty though. On scrolling through the older (hidden) reviews saw a post from netmums saying they had converted the recipe from cups. The original recipe is here: 2 cups of grated cheese 1 1/2 cups self raising flour 1 egg 1 cup milk 1 cup milk is 225ml according to my measuring cups, not 100ml!! Maybe I'll try again with the right measurements.

  These are lovely and so easy! I think my one year old would have eaten the lot given the chance! I used dried oregano and paprika as that was all I had

  Absolutely brilliant! I used half white SR flour and half wholemeal, left out the sugar and reduced the cheese to 200g as that's what I had in the fridge. Toddler loved them too and kept asking for more :) Adding some grated courgette also works a treat!

  These are so easy to make, and taste delicious! I put them with soup but they would be tasty just as a snack too. I'm definitely making them again.

  These are super easy to make, we add pesto or sweetcorn to ours. My 6 year old can make these by himself (apart from putting in oven of course!)

  I have made these with the exception of the paprika, we added 1-2 tsp of English mustard powder, added salt & pepper to taste and none of the extra optionals. They come out great, OH really enjoyed them. I made some without the mustard powder and really like mine (very plain eater at times lol), great with different cheeses to :) Thanks.

  Hi Joanna, I'm Candi, the Netmums Food Editor, I've recently overhauled our entire recipe section and we've removed 'cups' measurements as we used to get people complaining that they are American not British. So sorry you were disappointed when you tried to make the muffins. I've dug out the old recipe for you and the ingredients should be: 2 cups of grated cheese 1 1/2 cups self raising flour 1 egg 1 cup milk Plus all the other ingredients listed above. Hope that helps!

  Forgot to say that I also sometimes put some chopped ham or a sprinkle of chives in for a different flavour.

  Mmm these smell great when they are cooking and are delicious warm from the oven. They also make a brilliant after-school snack and I tend to whip up a batch on a Sunday and then I freeze them and pop them in the oven to defrost and warm up whilst I'm on the school run.

  This a brilliant recipe. I often make them on Saturdays and have them for lunch with something like a roast chicken /smoked salmon salad. Simple and tasty!

  Hi Joanna, I've seen similar recipes where they use two eggs, but I always use one. I can't help with your cups/scales problem though, sorry! I love this recipe too, I made it last week and my fussy kids (who never eat anything) gobbled them up!

  on 19/1/15

  This used to be one of my fav recipes but someone has changed it from cups and missed out how many eggs to use :-( My scales have broken cups would have been perfect.

  on 18/1/15

• Guest

  This is a wonderful basic recipe! Thank you ever so much!! I can season it as I want... I even used 1 cup of plain flour and 1/2 of wholegrain flour (add 1 and 1/2 tsp of baking powder + 1/4 tsp of bicarb). Now I want to try it with some oatmeal flour and/or oat gram. Thank you so much.

  on 20/10/14

• Guest

  Brilliant. I just made these with my 2.5yr old. As he helped measure I don't think the amounts are important. So use the same mug/cup for everything. We added chopped ham and they turned out great. Even my DH likes them! Xx

  I've been using savoury muffins for my mindees for a couple of years. They're perfect for baby led weaning as you get a mixture of protein and vegetable in each mouthful. I make up a batch of small 'bun' size ones and freeze them. You can do all sorts of variations - tuna and sweet corn, pea and ham, chicken and broccoli. I cut them up into bite size pieces for babies and toddlers eat them as they would a bun!

  on 5/3/13

• Guest

  Anna, it doesn't really matter so long as you use the same cup! A UK cup is 200ml, and a US cup is 250ml.

  on 27/1/13

• Anna C(476)

  Are these American cups though? Or is it just using an ordinary mug so long as it is the same mug for each ingredient?

  on 27/1/13

• Guest

  I have just taken these out of the oven - YUM!!!!!!!

  on 23/1/13

• Guest

  Oh and i used medium cheddar and still a very cheesy taste, mine are packed with flavour!

  on 23/1/13

• Guest

  Just made these they are delicious!!! My 2 boys (5 and 1) currently eating them and they seem a hit. I followed the recipe then added cooked chopped ham, 3 slices. Dried chives, extra paprika, pepper and pinch of salt. I used a silicone muffin tray and they slided out great, i did grease with margarine before i spooned the mixture in though.

  on 23/1/13

• Guest

  Made these again. Boiled some peas and sweetcorn, then added chopped ham. Look even more colourful with the peas and little one loves them. Possibilities are endless :)

  Oh and silcone cases are your friend!!

  on 5/11/12

  Just made these for my 11month old son. Went down a storm. Anyone needing the ingredients converting i used Delia Smiths conversion charts http://www.deliaonline.com/conversion-tables.html not entirely perfect but still worked hope that helps :)

• Rebecca K(245)

  Just made these & my very fussy eater ate a whole one for lunch... Very pleased!

  on 30/10/12

• Guest

  Nice quick recipe for a different lunch. I will be adding a lot more flavours to mine next time though as I think they need it. My first batch were a bit bland despite the cheese And I added mustard, black pepper and ham so I recommend your generous with the flavours.

  on 29/10/12

• Guest

  Little one loved these! I think I'm going to add a few more things next time I make them. Thanks.

  on 13/8/12

  So tasty! Didn't have mustard powder so used the real thing and added chopped chives. Really delicious and easy recipe, thank you!

  yuuuuummmmmmm! these are delicious!

  these are in my oven right now REALLY hoping they turn out right! got a very hungry little girl and a hungry mummy to feed and of course daddy when he comes home. they look nice and were very easy to make so i shouldnt have ruined them

  on 21/5/12

• Izzy F

  Gorgeous! Didn't use any optional extras or mustard but they still tasted great. Lovely when served warm with real butter on. Mmmmm!! My 2 fussy daughters ate them for dinner.

  on 28/2/12

• Bonita W

  Great recipe! Every fussy person in the house loves this especially with the sweetcorn. Great on picnics and very easy! Use this a lot!

  on 27/2/12

• Guest

  Made these with dd2 made small ones for the kids with sweetcorn, sun dried tomato and bacon and then added assorted fresh herbs for the grown ups. Enjoyed by all, even yucky green bits were ignored by the youngsters. Will definatley be making these again. They are best still warm from oven, but give them a short blast in microwave freshens them up very nicely.

  on 10/1/12

• Guest

  just made these quick and easy and look lovely

  on 19/11/11

• Guest

  Just made these this morning using the cup measurements and popped them straight in to a muffin try. My son hasn't been well and therefore not eating much and being fussy at breakfast time, gave him one once they were done and with great surprise he ate it!! Thank you for posting such a great recipe! ;)

  on 28/8/11

• Guest

  Just for info a CUP = 237 mls so this recipe needs - 474 mls grated cheese - 355 mls self raising flour - 237 mls milk Of course these numbers are far too precise and i'm sure you can go with the closest easiest measurement!!

  on 20/8/11

• Guest

  I have now made about 10 batches of these in a week, trying them out with various left overs and they are so yummy. They are really good for picnics and even better to take camping and have with mince and gravy instead of a dumpling.

  on 11/6/11

• Guest

  What are the mesurments in G or OZ please ???

  on 6/6/11

• Guest

  I've just made these with my super fussy 2 year old who doesnt eat anything and he stuffed it down!!! Very tasty and ive had to hide the rest in the cupboard so i dont eat the rest! Yummy.

  on 31/5/11

• Guest

  I tried it yesterday and it was DELICIOUS! We loved it. I added to the recipe salt, pepper and dried oregano and it was perfect..I also greased the muffin tins instead of using paper cases and all the muffins went out easily ..will definitely make it many many times.

  on 6/4/11

• Guest

  THANK YOU!!! Nearly cooked now, and they look and smell fab! I cannot cook and recipes always go wrong for me, but this is spot on.

  on 29/3/11

• Guest

  As soon as i noticed this reipe i made it,curious to see if it was any good as it was so simple! They turned out perfectly made in a silicone mini muffin tray. delicious! Just waiting now for my 18 month old son.jack to wake up and give me his verdict! most impressed with this recipe. Debbie and Jack-Coventry.

  on 21/2/11

• Kerry H(679)

  i saw this recipe whilst at work today, came home and made them straight away and YUMMY!!! my 2 year old loves them,but my diet doesnt lol!! def will invest in some silicone cases as they are a nigtmare to get out of paper cases! would try adding different cheeses and a lil salt too..

  on 1/2/11

• Guest

  i used the paprika in mine. they are so tasty!! made them for lunchboxes but im not sure how many of them are actually going to make then into the lunchboxes!! :-D so easy to make.

  on 1/2/11

• kerry w(198)

  Fantastic! my boys and I love cheese and these taste great. A great must have in any lunchbox.

  on 25/1/11

• sarah f(567)

  I made these but they turned out quite dense. Children didn't like them but husband did - you can't please them all! I liked it measured in cups as didn't have to get scales out!

  on 12/9/10

• Guest

  I really wish the measurements weren't in cups, it'd be ok if all the ingredients were measured by cup in which case it'd stay in proportion but they're not so you end up with too much or little of the other ingredients. Is this an American recipe so I can convert cups to grams?

  on 10/9/10

• Guest

  I made these one evening last week and they were delicious straight from the oven, though I need to use stronger cheese next time. They weren't quite so nice the next day, a bit like a scone needs to be eaten on the day they are made, though might try freezing next time. x

  on 16/5/10

• Guest

  very yummy, my husband loved them, took 5 of them to work for lunch after eating 3 before he went!!! loved them.

  on 4/5/10

• Guest

  OMG! These are amazing. I cant stop making them and eating them. Latest batch had 2 types of cheese, herbs, mustard and sweetcorn in. So amazingly yummy. You have to try these!

  on 27/4/10

  Hi, made these muffins in 20 minutes (including cooking time)as a snack for my boys this week and they were so easy and absolutely scrummy!!I think they liked them too. My Weight Watchers plan suffered after them!

  on 18/4/10

• Guest

  Made these muffins tonight. They came out really well and tasted good - only thing is - how do you get 12 out of this mixture?

  on 2/3/10

• dinah w(2)

  I am a childminder and made these with a two year old.Very easy for him to participate and everybody loved them. The only change I made was to add a tsp of english mustard, not the powdered one. Lovely consistency of a cross between a cake and a scone!

  on 13/2/10

• Guest

  I tried putting mustard in the with the egg and and milk and still didnt really taste of anything! OH liked them though!

  on 7/2/10

• Guest

  they were so nice we made 2 batches and my 3 yr old is taking some to her nursery to share with all her friends, my 9mth old daughter cried wen she finished hers and had 2 have a second one. we made them in small silicone cake cases which they were the perfect size for small people and just popped out of the cases really easy 2 make

  on 7/2/10

• Guest

  I doubled the cheese and mustard powder. Plus I added a pinch of salt and some black pepper, and topped them with parmesan before cooking. They still do not taste of much. Thought they would be good for kids lunchs, but neither the kids or hubby like them. Not great if your kids like big flavors.

  on 7/2/10

• Guest

  Would like to make these as bite size in small muffin tin-any recommendations on cooking time in fan oven? Notice that it has been suggested that salt is added-how much? Margaret

  on 2/2/10

• Guest

  Hi About to have a go at these. Has anyone frozen them,if so were they ok once defrosted? Thinking I'd do a batch for the freezer, but muffins don't always freeze too well. Thanks

  on 30/1/10

• Guest

  Just made my first batch with my 3 year old. Still in the oven and smell delicious, fingers crossed they'll taste just as yummy x

  on 17/1/10

• Guest

  yummy scrummy. Very easy to make with a 2 year old helper, who also loved eating them! Hurrah, we had a success today.

  on 16/1/10

  Hi Jo - thanks for coming back and updating. I made these this afternoon with Doves Farm gluten free flour and added in herbs. They turned out really well and were quick and easy to do. I took them along as an after-school snack and they went within seconds lol!! Lucy, Netmums Foodie Team

  on 11/1/10

• Guest

  Having all eaten this tonight - I am wanting to backtrack on my previous comment - my daughter loved it and it has a superb texture, springy and light. I do think it needs salt but overall - it's very easy and simple to do and mature cheddar is a must to achieve flavour. I used half a mug for measurements (1 cup) and couldn't believe how well it worked out with no scales!

  on 11/1/10

• Guest

  I put in a cake tin - greased. Stuck slightly. What is missing - SALT! I know we don't like adding if Children are eating our cooking but it lacks salt! Texture nice - but as it stands tastless! Add salt, herbs or more mustard. Jo

  Made these on Saturday and they were delicious, although as previous posters have said, they did stick to the cases quite a lot....so I went and got some silicone cases and tried them again yesterday and they came out a dream!!!! Absolutely gorgeous x

  or a cup yur next door neighbours own if u cldnt dig one out

  on 11/7/09

• Guest

  re:cups-well its all about proportion really isnt it?so u cld use an american measuring cup or the cups marked on your measuring jug or just pick one cup you own and use it(dry ingredients first of course)for the whole recipie.hope that helps x

  on 11/7/09

  claire b - I always do the proper cooking cups like the american ones

  on 10/7/09

• Guest

  hi, sorry to be dim but I panic when I read the word 'cup', is this the American measuring cup, or a tea cup?? I don't actually own a cup...any advice appreciated as they sound delicious and would love to attempt to make them! Cheers.

  on 27/2/09

  Worked a treat in silicon muffin cases, no need to grease and just popped out! Very tasty.

  on 27/2/09

• Guest

  I agree with Lynn T. Made these this morning, smelt gorgeous whilst cooking but didn't come out of cases properly, the top kind of just came off. Didn't taste that great either. Will try again though, maybe just my cooking!

  on 25/2/09

• Guest

  Absolutely delicious! My 2yr old and hubby loved them, we had them with leek and potato soup instead of bread!! Will definately be doing them again.

  on 7/2/09

• Guest

  Made these today, but they didn't work too well. They don't come out of the cases cleanly, leaving behing an elasticy mess. Maybe it's my cooking!
