Best Ever Cheese Muffins | Slimming World Friendly Recipe

These Cheese Muffins will disappear in seconds, I know because they did!! Quick and easy,  these savoury muffins are moist inside and golden crusty on the outside. Honestly you need to keep a stash for snacking, pop them in lunch boxes or serve a bowl of these with homemade soup!

So basically, these muffins are for every cheese loving, carb munching, stodge lover around! Inhale, take in that smell.. they are divine! They are literally only 2 Syns per muffin.. yes I said 2!! Make yourself a Syn free homemade batch of soup and dip these little beauties until your hearts content!! The only problem is… stopping! They are so addictive and more-ish you may have to give them away to neighbours to stop yourself from eating them all. 

I made a batch of these last week for the family! My littlest (3) kept asking if I was baking cookies.. I said “no” obviously and explained they were actually cheese muffins. The look of disgust on his face was like I had told him Santa wasn’t real. He described them as “gross” and off he went back to his iPad! (Yes I give my kids iPad time for peace). 15 minutes this later this same child was scoffing a muffin in his mouth whilst asking for another one. So I can guarantee they are child friendly and perfect for a lunch box treat too.

Absolutely.. be sure to allow for your Healthy Extra A. So 4 muffins would be one of your healthy extra A portions for the day.
