Eleanor Ozich of Petite Kitchen shares a recipe for wholesome corn, cheese and chive muffins.

These deliciously cheesy savoury muffins are packed full of flavour and wholesome ingredients. I have used a base of ground almonds and brown rice flour in this recipe, which gives them a gorgeously moist yet light and nutty texture. They are fantastic for breakfast on the go, a weekend picnic snack, or for filling kids' lunch boxes.
