You only had to ask. And ask you did. I posted a picture of these little beauties on my Facebook page last week and since then I’ve had rather a lot of messages about them. It seems the recipe is in demand. Well all the credit goes to Emma Franklin and the Sainsburys Magazine team. I can confirm they were delicious. I can also confirm I ate two.

Gluten-free oat-topped chorizo, sweetcorn and tomato muffins 

Makes 6

Ingredients:

• 100g diced chorizo (or for a veggie version, the same weight of diced firm goat’s cheese)
• 60g butter
• 100g baby plum tomatoes
• 100ml semi-skimmed milk
• 50g fat-free Greek strained yogurt
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 150g Doves Farm white self-raising gluten & wheat free flour blend
• 1 tsp gluten-free baking powder
• 100g canned sweetcorn (drained weight)
• 2 tbsp chopped thyme
• 2-3 tbsp gluten-free oats, for sprinkling

You will also need a 6-hole muffin tin, well oiled, or lined with muffin cases

Preheat the oven to 200°C, 180°C fan, gas 6. Dry-fry the chorizo until crispy, remove to a bowl, using a draining spoon, and leave to cool. Melt the butter in a small pan and set it aside. Halve the tomatoes, remove and discard the seeds, then chop the tomato flesh.

Using a balloon whisk and a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, yogurt, eggs, olive oil and melted butter into a batter. Don’t worry if you have a few small, stubborn blobs of yogurt.

Sift in the flour and baking powder. Add a pinch of salt and scatter the chorizo, chopped tomatoes, sweetcorn and thyme over the top. Using a large metal spoon, fold everything together until combined, but don’t overmix. Divide the mixture among the muffin holes in the tin, piling them up high. Sprinkle a few oats on top of each one.

Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes in the tin. Loosen around the edges of each muffin with a knife, then tip each one out of the tin on to a cooling rack. Serve warm or cold.
