Overview
Feta Onion Mushroom Olive Muffins
By Amy // Posted Mar 2, 2021 // Category Savoury
My Feta Onion Mushroom Olive Muffins are just perfect to pack for a snack for work or school. They are soft, moist and very fluffy. I really liked getting small pockets of savoury hits coming from the feta and olives.
I have to put it out there. They are the most delicious muffins I’ve made, surpassing the sweet ones I’ve eaten or made in the past. I think it comes down to the fluffiness and also the balance of the filling inside.
So, you must try making them!
If you don’t like the filling inside, feel free to change it. Read the tips below to see how to customize your muffin.

tips
1. Have room temperature ingredients
The ingredients, especially the buttermilk and the eggs should be at room temperature. If your ingredients are too cold, it can change the structure as well as alter the cooking time of your bakes.
2. Don’t overmix
There are two stages when you need to mix/fold your batter. The first is when you combine your wet to dry ingredients. The trick is to gently fold in the wet ingredients while scrapping the sides. Stop mixing as soon the wet/dry ingredients have been incorporated. Next, when you add your filling to your muffin batter, start by dispersing your filling on top of your batter. Then proceed by gently mixing the ingredients until you think it is placed evenly throughout the batter. The key is to not overmix at each of these stages so that your bake can be fluffy and soft.
3. Customize your filling
I added a total of 210grams of filling to the muffins. You can easily change some of the ingredients and add what you like. You could add grains, herbs, spices, cold cuts, dried fruit, the list does go on.
Preheat the oven to 200 C (390F) and spray a 12 muffin tray with oil spray or place paper cups into the muffin tray.
Place the sifted flour into a large mixing bowl and add the salt to it, then whisk together. Make a well in the middle to add the wet ingredients into.
In a large bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil and eggs together. Pour the liquid into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the ingredients together until just mixed.
Add the prepared fillings (feta, mushroom, olives, red onion) to the muffin batter and mix gently until the ingredients are evenly dispersed. Try not to over-mix.
Spoon the muffin batter equally into the muffin tin. Top each muffin with extra crumbled feta. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Serve warmed or cold with some chutney or butter. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 6 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
