Mix well until full combined, using your hands is the easiest way here!

Step 5 - Spray a 12 cup muffin tray with Coconut Oil to avoid sticking. 

Step 6 - Use a spoon to evenly place the muffin mix into the 12 cups, using any leftovers to top up. 

Step 7 - Place in the oven (pre-heated of course!) for 30 minutes at 180°C.

Step 8 - Remove from the oven and add the remaining Tomato Salsa to the top of each muffin, followed by 1/3 cup of Light Shredded Cheese divided evenly. 

Step 9 - Place back in the oven to cook for a further 5 minutes. 

Step 10 - Remove from the oven, let cool and use a spoon to pry out the muffins ready to eat! 2 make a great snack, or combine with a side of veggies for a full meal.
