Notes

Alternatives:
cheddar cheese - gruyere cheese, plant-based alternative

Once wrapped, these muffins keep well in the freezer for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost overnight in the refrigerator and gently warm in the oven (if possible) at 160°C/140°C fan for 6-7 minutes before eating.

If you don't have buttermilk, make your own by adding 1 tsp of white vinegar or lemon juice to every 100ml of milk you need.

Delicious. Swapped the leeks for spring onions. Love the sunflower seeds in them as they add crunch. So tasty and the house smells divine too as an added benefit.

Had such high hopes for these. They just didn't have the yummy factor. Can't understand why. Everything in them points to yumminess but they were kind of flat tasting.

Love these! The right amount of cheese and crunch from seeds. I will definitely be making these again! Thank you!

Delicious easy snack

Absolutely delicious. The mustard added a lovely piquancy to cut through the cheese and doughy-ness.
