TOMATO BASIL MUFFINS
I wanted something bread-y for lunch, something my 15 month old son could (and would) eat, and I have quite a lot of fresh basil in my garden. I used vegetable oil, but I think I might try olive oil next time. Try adding ham or cheese. For those trying to use less fat, substitute no-sugar-added apple sauce for the oil and decrease the sugar by half.

TOMATO & BASIL MUFFINS
I was clearing out all the supermarket recipe leaflets and cards and all the cut out recipes that kept piling up in my kitchen. I thought I'd post the ones that I liked the look and sound of here, to share and for future reference. This way you might find something you like and my kitchen gets decluttered! If you try it before me let me know what you think. This is from Tesco's 'Food Club' magazine.

Tips:
- For a sweeter muffin, use ripe tomatoes. If your tomatoes are not very sweet, you can add a tablespoon of sugar to the batter.
- Fresh basil is best in this recipe, but if you don't have any on hand, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried basil.
- Grated Parmesan cheese adds a nice savory flavor to the muffins. If you don't have Parmesan, you can use another hard cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella.
- You can add other ingredients to the muffins, such as chopped sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or feta cheese.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the muffins will overflow in the oven.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
Tomato basil muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or breakfast treat. The original recipe uses fresh tomatoes, basil, and Parmesan cheese, but you can also add other ingredients to taste. These muffins are perfect for a quick grab-and-go breakfast or snack, and they're also great for packing in lunches. So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy snack, give tomato basil muffins a try!
