Description
Savory Salmon Rice Muffins are a delicious and nutritious twist on traditional muffins, packed with protein and flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 can (14.75 ounces) salmon, drained and flaked
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, flaked salmon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and dried dill if using. Pour this mixture into the rice and salmon mixture, stirring until everything is well combined.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top of each muffin for added texture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a twist, try adding chopped bell peppers or spinach to the mixture for extra veggies.
- You can also substitute the salmon with canned tuna or cooked chicken for a different flavor.
