Marmite Muffins

Marmite Muffins are savory muffins flavored with mature cheddar cheese, almond flour, and a blend of garlic and onion powders. The eggs are whipped to a frothy texture to incorporate air, creating a tender crumb despite the gluten-free almond flour base. After baking, the muffins are poked and brushed with a Marmite butter glaze, adding a distinctive savory umami note that complements the cheese and spices.

Ingredients

  • 4 egg room temperature, large
  • 1.5 cups / 150g almond flour
  • 1.5 cups / 170g cheddar cheese mature, grated or shredded
  • ¼ cup / 60g natural yoghurt
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
Glaze
  • 1.5 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon marmite

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C /350F electric or 160 C / 320F fan assisted. Line a muffin pan with paper cups (or grease a silicone muffin mould).
  2. Blend the eggs in a food processor or with an electric mixer until frothy and double in size (around 2 minutes).
  3. Add the almond flour, grated cheddar, yoghurt, baking powder, garlic powder and onion powder and blend until well-combined.
  4. Fill the batter into 8 paper cups and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. If necessary, cover loosely with aluminium paper during the last 5 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning.
  5. Once the muffins are out of the oven, make the glaze: Melt the butter and stir in the marmite.
  6. Using a skewer or toothpick, poke holes all over the muffins. Then, brush over the marmite glaze. Leave to cool down or enjoy straight away!
