If you’ve got a picnic planned anytime soon then these easy and delightful savoury Tuna, Corn and Coriander Muffins filled with tuna, corn, zucchini and corn are an absolute treat. A quick and easy light dinner served with a salad and any leftovers are ideal for lunch boxes. Make a batch of these for the freezer.

Ingredients Needed to Make Tuna Muffins
Tuna – I used water-packed tuna, drained
Eggs – If your eggs are on the smaller side feel free to add a 4th.
Milk – For moisture, full cream is best.
Oil – Adds moisture to baked goods (any neutral oil, but not olive oil)
Flour – The base of the recipe is self-raising flour.
Baking Powder – Super important as it helps give the muffins an extra rise.
Veggies – Onions, Zucchini and Corn. Feel free to use canned or frozen
Cheese – Freshly shredded cheddar cheese to get some super melty cheese in every single bite.
Seasoning – Garlic, Curry Powder and Salt
