Ingredients to prepare savory veggie corn cheese muffins:
- All-purpose flour: I have used all-purpose flour in this recipe. You can even use Maida.
- Sweet corn kernels: I have used fresh sweet corn kernels which I had removed from the American corn on the cob. You can use frozen ones too. Just thaw before using them in the recipe.
- Capsicum: Capsicum is also known as bell pepper. I used the green bell pepper in this recipe.
- Onion, Coriander: Vegetables like onion and coriander add more flavor to the recipe.
- Grated cheese: Makes the muffins cheesy and yummy.
- Seasoning: Chili flakes, Italian seasoning and salt. These are the only tastemakers added to this corn cheese muffin recipe.
- Egg: I have added 1 egg to this recipe.
- Yogurt: You can use thick curd if you cannot find yogurt. If you are making eggless muffin, you can skip adding egg and add another ½ cup yogurt. However, I have not tried the eggless version.
- Olive oil: 1/4th cup olive oil is added to the vegetable muffins. Helps in baking.
Steps to prepare savory corn cheese muffins:
- Take two bowls. I will say, bowl1 and bowl2.
- In bowl1, beat eat the egg and mix yogurt. Add olive oil, mix and keep aside.
- In bowl2, mix the flour and other ingredients and keep aside.
- Add the ingredients from bowl1 to bowl2 mixing slowly.
- Pre-heat the microwave in convection mode to 180 degree for 5 minutes.
- Grease the muffin tray.
- Spoon the muffin tray with the mixture. Brush some olive oil on top of the muffin mixture. This gives it a golden color.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
How to serve the cheese muffins with corn and vegetables?
- Serve these muffins with vegetables for breakfast or in the evening during tea time.

Can we use whole wheat flour instead of maida?
You can try. It should work Poornima.
What can we substitute for eggs ?
Hi Raksha,
This looks delicious. Would it be possible to swap the maida for whole wheat flour?
Thanks,
Lyandra
Yes sure
sure
What can be used instead of eggs here?
Hi Raksha… I tried this out yesterday and the taste was superb . However I used muffin liners and sprayed it with butter . After cooling down the muffins could not come out easily as the batter was stuck to the liners. Are these supposed to be baked directly in the muffin pan . How do I avoid the batter sticking to the liners. I skipped the egg and added some extra oil .
Yes bake them directly in muffin pan. I did not use muffin liner too.
Hey what could be a substitute for Italian seasoning? I have oregano but not sure if it would taste nice in such big quantity ( 3 tablespoons)
Use oregano it will taste good
Hi Raksha.. Could you please tell us any substitute for egg here.
hi.. can u tell the subsitute of eggs
We don’t eat egg any replacement
Try with flax seed powder.
Flax seeds powder taste yukk in cake or this kuffina .add 1 tso baking powder and 1/4 two of baking soda it work well.
The muffins look yummy. I’m making them for my craft group, tomorrow.

Can it be baked in oven or only in microwave? Please let me know the temp for oven too.
Not tried in oven. Tried in microwave only.

Can this be made in advance of the party.
Yes.. you can make them and day prior
All purpose flour is Maida only????
There is slight difference. In US we can get All purpose flour. In India, we can use maida.
I tried this recipe in my home as your steps you write in this article and this is so easy to make this recipe. It is amazing to make and very interesting.
Very useful and helpful for me to make recipes like that very easily in my home.
Thank You!!!

Can I make in mini-muffin pan for bite-size?
You can try, you might have to reduce the baking time. I did not try this.
If you prepare them a day in advance, how do you heat them
I did not try this, but I think you could microwave them.
Did not have eggs, so added 1/4 cup yogurt. Batter was quite dry. I added some milk. Turned out yummy. However, added only 2 teaspoons intead of tablespoons of chilli flakes and they were just enough for our taste. My son having it with additional cheese and chicken topping, microwaved them.
Thank you so much for the comment. Glad that your son loved it. Adding chicken topping is like a cherry on the cake.
Also good that you tried a version without eggs.
