Cumin and pea muffins offer a unique twist to traditional savory muffins, blending the earthy flavor of cumin with the slight sweetness of peas. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or even as a side dish, these muffins are both delicious and nutritious.

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray or butter.
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent and begins to soften.
Add the minced garlic, stir well, and continue to cook for another 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Stir in the ground cumin and cook for another minute, ensuring it coats the onion and garlic mixture well. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and melted butter until well combined. Gradually add the milk, continuously whisking until the mixture is smooth.
In another bowl, sift the self-raising flour. Add the peas and stir to coat them well with the flour. This helps to distribute the peas evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the wet ingredients mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the sautéed onion and garlic mixture. Gently fold everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your cumin and pea muffins warm or at room temperature. They make a delightful savory snack or a perfect accompaniment to soups and salads.
Tips:
- Sauté the onions and garlic until they are caramelized for a deeper flavor.
- Rinse the peas under cold water to retain their vibrant color and sweetness.
- Ensure all the wet ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a smoother batter.
- Do not overmix the batter; it can make the muffins dense. Mix until just combined.
- Use an ice cream scoop to evenly portion the batter into the muffin tin.
- Garnish the tops with extra peas or a sprinkle of cumin seeds for a decorative touch.
- Bake the muffins in the center of the oven to ensure even cooking.
- Allow the muffins to cool slightly before removing them from the tin to prevent them from breaking.
Cumin and pea muffins are a delightful combination of flavors and textures. By following the steps carefully, you can achieve perfect muffins that are soft, flavorful, and ideal for any occasion. Enjoy your culinary creation!
