Mediterranean Savory Muffins • More Than Just Cooking

Usually when we hear the word “muffins”, we think about something sweet. Certainly, the savory variation of this baked good is not so popular, but I think it can be very tasty too.

This is one easy and quick recipe for savory muffins. They are high in protein, due to the chickpea flour, nuts, seeds and feta cheese. In addition, the muffins are also rich in flavor, thanks to the sun-dried tomatoes, olives and spices. This baked good is definitely the perfect go-to snack in the morning or the afternoon.

I love serving these savory muffins with a homemade yogurt dip and some fresh veggies.
