Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat the oven to 400°. Line a mini muffin pan with mini baking cups.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cumin, salt, oregano and bone broth protein (if using*). Whisk until incorporated, set aside.
In a separate bowl add egg, milk, butter, green chilis and cilantro. Whisk well to combine.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Using a spatula, stir together until everything is well combined.
Spoon into lined muffin tin, you should get around 24-27. Sprinkle with corn flake crumbs, cilantro and a pinch of salt.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the center of the muffin springs back. Let cool for about 3 minutes in tin then remove to a cooling rack.
If you want to make a standard sized muffin, place batter in standard, lined muffin tin and adjust baking time to 22-24 minutes. You should get around 10-12.

Notes

MILK: since a can of green chilis can vary in how liquid-y they are, start by using 1 cup of the milk and if the batter seems too stiff once you mix it up, add the remaining milk a little at a time until you have a nice scoop-able consistency.
BONE BROTH POWDER: if not using bone broth powder, increase the amount of flour called for by a couple tablespoons, adding 1 tbsp at a time until you have a nice scoop-able consistency.
PALEO/GF: sub 1¾ cup Otto’’s cassava flour for APF, sub milk with dairy free of choice and ghee (or even coconut oil) for butter as needed. Omit crushed corn chips on top as well for Paleo.
