INSTRUCTIONS:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 190c
Spray your muffin tins generously and set aside. You will need about 3 x 12 muffin tins.
Begin by heating up a fry pan over medium heat with olive oil.
Once hot, add onion and garlic and sauté until translucent.
Next, add remaining ingredients from the vegetable filling list and sauté for a further 5-6 minutes, or until veggies have softened.
While that is cooking, add besan flour, nutritional yeast, herbs and spices, salt and pepper, and baking powder into a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
Then add your water in, bit by bit, stirring continuously to avoid lumps, until a smooth batter forms.
Into your prepared tins, add a dessert spoonful of vegetable mix into the bottom of each muffin well.
Next, pour about a ¼ cup of the batter into each muffin well, to cover the vegetables. Should be almost full.
Bake for around 20 minutes or until golden on top and firm to the touch.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the muffin trays onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container in either the fridge or freezer.
