This recipe is one that I adapted from one shared with my son from a Food Tech teacher at his school so thank you Carmel I hope you don’t mind that I have changed your original recipe but we have made them many times and the recipe evolved overtime with our likes and what we always have on hand .
They are a great addition to a lunch box, go well with soup or just as a snack that isn’t full of sugar. They keep for 3 or 4 days and freeze well so perfect for using as an option for lunches/snacks for the school or working week.
I have been making them gluten free with no difference to the end product, just swapping the flour for gluten free self raising flour and the muffins in the photo I made using 1 cup gluten free SR flour and 1 cup polenta they were super nice a little heavier but with a nice bit of texture.
