If you've not tried a savoury muffin before then you are missing out! I've made Cheese & Red Pepper Muffins before that are absolutely yummy and these Veggie Sausage, Cheese & Onion Muffins are an adaptation of that recipe. These muffins would be great for an on the go breakfast, a picnic, in lunch boxes or eaten warm on a cold night like Bonfire Night.
They are filling and delicious, and a great savoury snack anytime of year! I think sausages particularly lend themselves to Autumn time as they are so associated with cosy meals, and this is a great way to get that feeling but in a portable muffin!
How to make Veggie Sausage, Cheese & Onion Muffins...
I started by frying the onion and sausages until the onion was soft and the sausages had browned. I chopped up the cooled sausages into slices.
In a bowl I whisked together the eggs, milk and vegetable oil. In another bowl I stirred both flours, the herbs, salt and raising agents together.
I mixed the dry and wet ingredients together, then added the onion and cheese.
Then I divided the mixture between paper cases, and pushed in slices of sausage. The muffins baked for around 25 minutes until they were risen and golden.
What if you don't have any wholemeal flour?
You can replace the wholemeal flour with the same amount of regular white plain flour.
How should you serve the Veggie Sausage, Cheese & Onion Muffins?
The best way to serve the Veggie Sausage, Cheese & Onion Muffins is definitely dipped in tomato ketchup! Of course you can dip them in your favourite dip, maybe it's BBQ sauce or brown sauce, either way it's a yummy way to eat them, either warm or cold.
These Veggie Sausage, Cheese & Onion Muffins are such a moreish snack especially on a cold evening!

It is such a long time since I've made savoury muffins but these do sound delicious. My little boy loves sauces and if I made them I think he'd be dipping them in ketchup, barbecue and brown sauce! Thanks for sharing with #CookOnceEatTwice!

I do love savoury muffins and make them quite often as kids love them and I usually manage to sneak quite a lot of veggie goodness in them. This recipe sounds so incredibly delicious! Sausages, cheese and onion!!! You had me at sausages even if they are veggie ones 😉
