Where has the month gone? (to hell in a hand basket, by the looks of shelter in place).
But all the bad news aside, I did manage to come up with a muffin I liked, after having a few disastrous attempts with a sweet potato muffin before running out of sweet potatoes. And no way to quickly shop for more. It turns out my baking powder was off. Not past date so go figure.
It has led to these yummy muffins, which is perhaps fate working at its best!
What I like best about these is the savory nature, which instead of making them perfect for breakfast finds them to be more suitable for supper or snacking.
Indeed, instead of taking the time and effort to bake yeast bread or roll out biscuits or let dinner rolls rise, this is easily stirred together and baked off in less than half an hour.
The muffins are great either plain, with butter or something like softened cream cheese. Whichever way you like them!

Oooh, a schmear of cream cheese would be perfect on these, Sue! What a great idea. Personally, I think savory muffins would be my ideal breakfast. I could never resist something warm and cheesy.
These look so flavorful!! Perfect dinner accompaniment!
These would make the perfect side for a nice bowl of soup or stew.
I love savory muffins! These would be so good with tomato soup, wouldn’t they? Or a big green salad.
I like that you made savory muffins, since kids love muffins, I am always forced to make sweet muffins. When I get chance I try this it is going to great with my soup.
I made these,,,but I used paper in the pan instead of greasing the pan,, they stuck to the paper and can’t get them out,, the taste is great though.
Spritzing liners with nonstick can help there.
