cheese, capsicum, ham or bacon or any cured meat, tomato.
I know it doesn't leave much - but I want it for my allergy prone daughter. She loves salmon and I can use cooked meat. Does leek work? I can use onion. Pumpkin? kumara is also ok - but not potato. Sweetcorn is okay too. TIA.

leeks would be fine, i would be inclined to roast them all first leek included and then make the muffins with them when cold. can she eat spinach some of that in the mix would be nice, not sure about the salmon, but no harm in trying it. cut the vege quite small and the leek in rings, roast till nice and tasty.

What about one of the zucchini muffin variations? I have a book titled 'The Muffin Bible' and it has every muffin you could possibly imagine. I'll post the most promising...
Beat together egg, sugar, oil and buttermilk. Combine dry ingredients. Add zucchini and wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Mix until all ingredients are just combined, and spoon into prepared muffin tins. Bake in a preheated oven at 180*C for 20-30 minutes.
ZUCCHINI NUT MUFFINS 3 cups flour 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon 2 cups sugar 4 eggs, room temperature 1 cup canola oil 2 cups grated zucchini 1/2 tsp vanilla essence 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional, if nuts are a problem) 1/2 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 180*C. Grease muffin pans. Sift dry ingredients (except sugar) and set aside. Combine sugar and eggs. Beat 2 minutes. Add oil and beat for 3 minutes. Add zucchini, vanilla, nuts and raisins. Fold in dry ingredients until mixed. Fill muffin pans two-thirds full and bake for 25 minutes . Wonderful with berry jam.

Other possibilities in this 'Bible' are SPINACH & CARAMELISED ONION MUFFINS, ORANGE CARROT MUFFINS (only 2 Tblsp sugar), KUMARA & WALNUT ( a little honey, no sugar)... do any of these appeal?

Spinach ones sound great - and so do the kumara ones. She can't have citrus. p[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[(rr - newkitten is helping me type! ) - This has taken so long to type - she loves the computer!
Slowly fry onions with butter and sugar till soft and golden. Transfer to a bowl. Make egg up to 1 cup with water and add with remaining ingredients to onion mixture. Mix until just combined. Spoon into well-greased muffin pans and bake at 190*C for 12-15 mins.

have you tried non cows milk cheeses?
Adding herbs also gives a loverly full flavour toos. Yoou could also use red onion as they are less strong in flavour. You could also pre cook the onion to give a lesser flavour from them!

Just a thought can your daughter eat the vegetarian bacon put out by sanatarium? This would give the flavour of bacon in muffins etc.

elliehen I plan to make your kumara and walnut muffins on Sunday... do you use Texas muffin pans? How many would this mixture make? Same cooking time? Thanks

I use the 12-cup muffin pans and haven't used the Texas size, but I don't think cooking time would be much different. I also have a 3-cup Breville benchtop muffin maker - a very handy gadget - and make 6 muffins out of a mixture of this size, cooking for 15 to 20 minutes. Hope this helps :)

Wow - loads to try! Thanks. Barloo - yes we have tried different cheeses - she was okay on A2 for a while but gets ill with that now. I try to make everything as naturally as I can - so I will definitely have a go. the lack of cheese is a bit of a problem - but I will caramelise onions and play about with sweetcorn too. And I will see if she will eat spinach in them. Such a shame she can't eat cheese.
