Tired of regular dishes for breakfast and also want to avoid sugar? Check out these savory muffin recipes that are easy to bake.
My favourite muffin is, of course, a chocolate muffin, even better if there is molten chocolate coming out after I take a bite! It’s just heavenly! Snapping out of my chocolaty dreams, I am sure I cannot have it on a daily basis owing to too much sugar and there by calories. Savory muffins are then the answer for muffin lovers.
The appearance of muffins makes the meal look exotic. They look cute in miniature sizes wanting one to hog on them. A dish that is plated well in an artful manner tastes better, as they say – looks as good as it tastes! And with muffins they look pretty even without plating up.
If you need something savory to kick start your day and are bored with regular breakfast, then these muffins recipes are for you to try. These are savory ones and can be included in your breakfast or an evening snack and works well with kids too. Here are few more reasons to try them sooner –
So let us check out these muffin recipes without wasting any more time!
Let me tell you the secret – these are baked upma muffins! On those days, when all you have is basic upma ingredients but are dreading to have the same upma, go for this! Add your favourite veggies and to make it little interesting the author adds some grated paneer on the top just before baking, making it more so Indian and protein rich too!
Recipe
These muffins are rich in green with coriander as the main ingredient. Sometime I end up with too much coriander when I get a big bunch home and wonder what to do with it! Then I make something like a coriander rice or add coriander in chutney, sambar, dal, rasam, curry – well in almost everything to optimize its usage. If you too have coriander problems, or want to add some extra iron or flavour to your meal, try this recipe!
Carrot is one of the hit vegetables with kids. Cooked carrot is even used as the first finger foods and a raw carrot works wonders when you want to save yourself from your tiny tot’s bites! This muffin looks colourful with grated carrot, cheese and nuts and is nutritious too. If you do not want to use store bought herbs masala, you can stick to your homemade spice mix with basic ingredients.
All of us must have read a lot about how oats are good for health, but for many it is hard to shift from a flavourful breakfast to an almost bland oatmeal. Thanks to our desi recipes, oats are being incorporated as a hidden ingredient in almost all of idlis, dosas, rotis, upma, pongal and what not! Now it is the turn of the muffins – a great way to savour oats!
These muffins make me wonder if there can be a wholesome Indian meal in one cute cup, which even includes the traditional tempering! However this muffin recipe takes considerable time as it needs dals and rice to be soaked properly. That apart, it looks almost like a south Indian adai in muffin form to me.
The combination of corn and cheese has been our favourite for sandwiches at home. But then given the versatility of corn and cheese, they can be easily added to many Italian dishes and Indian breakfast/snacks. When it is crunchy and creamy all at the same time – what more can one ask for?
Another south Indian twist here – baked idli batter, which is loaded with veggies. Idli is by far the most common breakfast in south India and with the growing cosmopolitan environment everyone wants to try something new. Well, this fits the bill in that case I guess. Next time serve these idli muffins rather than regular idlis to please your guests with a fancy yet traditional breakfast.
Pizzas for breakfast sound offbeat, isn’t it? Breakfast can be made elegant with some pleasant dishes once in a while, to celebrate the joy of eating exotic foods! If you have some readymade pizza/pasta sauce at home then this muffin recipe can be made in a jiffy. It can also make up for a great party treat.

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
It is shameful that in today's world too, women are abused and even killed for giving birth to a girl, and the infant's life is also of no value.
Trigger Warning: This deals with domestic violence, suicide, and violence against women, and may be triggering to survivors.
I am so glad that the esteemed courts are now giving the much-required verdicts regarding certain ideologies that were not at all entertained earlier. I mean we all have studied this much biology at our school level and it is our duty (our generation) to educate our elders about it.
Why someone have to lose a life to bring such awareness to the society. Delhi High Court gave this judgement concerning a case that filed by the deceased daughter’s parents against her in-laws. She committed suicide as she was harassed and tortured for dowry and giving birth to two daughters.
