A little effort

Marmite adds a deliciously savoury kick to these cheesy muffins. They make a delicious on-the-go snack, and are a great way to use that jar in your cupboard.

Ingredients

self-raising flour 125g
baking powder 2 tsp
cheddar cheese 125g, grated
egg 1, beaten
milk enough to make the beaten egg up to 250ml
oil
butter 60g
Marmite 1 tbsp

Method

Step 1

Heat the oven to 200c/fan 180c/gas 6. Butter an 8-hole muffin tray and dust with flour, or use muffin cases.
Step 2

Sieve the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Add the cheese, egg, milk mixture and 60ml oil. Stir until all the ingredients are mixed (you don’t have to be too thorough and don’t worry if the mixture looks sloppy).
Step 3

Divide the mixture between the cases or tin and bake for 18-20 minutes until light brown.
Step 4

Melt the butter with the marmite. When the muffins are cooked, remove from the oven and spoon over the butter mix. You can also insert a few skewer holes into the top of the muffins so that the mix seeps further in.
