Cheesy Savoury Muffins - Batter Up With Sujata

Cheesy savoury muffins.

A very easy and delicious recipe to amaze your kids.

You don’t have to use refined flour/maida in it. Give a healthy treat to your family and friends.

You can make it with flour too but I don’t want to use refined flour/maida in my recipes. Because it has only chemicals and trans fat and no nutrients. Its refined flour/maida from which fiber is been eliminated and bleached to give white colour with benzoyl peroxide which has side effects and many disadvantages. In other words its a slow poison. It spikes up your sugar levels because it has very high glycemic index.

I have used semolina or suji/rawa in it. Low calorie semolina is made from hard variety durum wheat which is digested slowly and prevent you from overeating. And its good for diabetic and perfect for weight loss. In other words, you will be able to lose weight in a shorter period of time and maintain body weight. Semolina is increases your chances of shedding more fat because it digested very slowly. Semolina is energy booster too. It keeps your body charged throughout the day.

Semolina contains phosphorus, zinc and magnesium which keeps your nervous system healthy. Semolina is good for your bone health too. It increases bone density and keeps them healthy and strong. Semolina contains protein which nourishes your skin and muscles.
