These Thermomix Cheese and Corn Muffins make a great savoury snack and are perfect for school lunch boxes too.
This Cheese and Corn Muffin recipe is an adaptation of our Thermomix Savoury Muffins that I put together when our three year old decided to open a can of corn kernels (the only disadvantage of those ring pull cans!). Both of my boys love cheese and corn separately, so I was pretty confident they would enjoy the combination of the two in these muffins.
I was right (don't you love that!) and both of them loved these 'corn cakes' and ate one alongside the casserole we were having for dinner. As well as being a great savoury side dish, these Thermomix Cheese and Corn Muffins are also a yummy lunchbox snack for the kids and are also freezer friendly - always a winner in my book!
