Savoury Cheddar Onion Muffins are a great alternative to bread, especially in combination with soups or salads. I often make them to serve with my meals, or just for a tasty “anytime” snack. Great with the addition of herbed butter….yummy!!
The ingredients are pretty simple, but the taste is wonderful. By using different types of flours and cheeses, you can customize this recipe to fit the flavour profile of your meal.
Choose your flours, grate your cheese….put the dried onion flakes into the sour cream along with the milk, eggs and oil.
Combine the flours and the sour cream mixture.
Add in the grated cheese.
Scoop batter into prepared muffin tins.
Bake at 375° for approximately 18-20 minutes.
And there you have it….warm muffins and a house that smells great.
So the next time you are looking for a great bread alternative, try these Savoury Cheddar Onion Muffins.
For this recipe I used whole wheat and 12 grain flour along with old cheddar.

WOW!! Do they ever look good! I love bread and with cheese — I’m in heaven. I could see me putting a chipotle butter on them. I guess I’m craving savory and spicy. It’s spring and I’m still wanting comfort food and the muffins would go well with our bean soup. Will be making them soon.
