These flavorful muffins are great for breakfast or as an addition to soup or salad. They take only 10 minutes to prepare and 20 to bake – quick enough to always have freshly baked goodies on the table.


  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ¾ cup plus 6 tsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¾ cup mixed seeds (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds & pine nuts)
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 6 tbsp melted butter

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F / 200° C. Line 12 muffin tins with paper liners.
  2. In a bowl mix together flour, baking powder, ¾ cup Parmesan, ½ cup seeds, salt and pepper to taste.
  3. In another bowl beat the eggs, buttermilk and melted butter. Pour the mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (don’t overmix).
