A gluten free muffin recipe using dried ground green peas, poppyseeds and buffalo Mozzarella. Dried peas, a small but nutritionally mighty member of the legume family, are gluten free, low GI, low in fat and high in protein. They contain soluble fibre that helps to optimise cholesterol and rich in minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants.

- Grind the dried shelled green peas into flour-like consistency. Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin and line with paper or silicone liners.
- Whisk together the pea flour, poppy seeds, dried curry leaves, sea salt, white pepper powder and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
- Gradually whisk in the sparkling water until well combined and smooth. Divide the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Top each muffin with a mini Mozzarella. Bake in the cold fan-assist oven at 140C/280F for 40 minutes.

I love the colour of these muffins. The green is so gorgeous. I can imagine the flavour of the peas going with the aromatic curry leaves and crunchy poppy seeds.
A great idea! Those muffins must taste wonderful.
Cheers,

Green Pea muffins, wow, they look delicious and I think I HAVE to make them not only because I love peas but also they match with my kitchen! :)
I didn't realise that you can grind up green peas like this. It's a great idea for gluten-free, and the color is lovely, as well.
What a lovely color! I don't think I have seen dried green peas shelled, or is that some kind of lentils?
@MedejaThey are just like green split peas.
Looks delicious! Great recipe!
Muffins look divine and so cheesy! Awesome clicks! :)

Beautiful green muffins! They must be very tasty with the poppy seeds!
wow how pretty these are!
This is the coolest idea for baking I have seen in a long time.
A gluten free, savory muffin! This is most unusual!
A very unique muffin, besides being gluten and eggs free, there is curry leaves too. Love the color and how fluffy they look!
Angie , those muffins are so pretty ! Just love the green color :D They are savoury as well . drooool !
The green of the peas and the black of the poppy seeds just pop on this pretty muffins Angie. And savory, which I prefer. Yum, yum.

I am looking at the ingredients and I thought. . . what a great combination. The green peas gave the muffins nice colors. :)
Wow! You are a genius! I have 2 bags of dried green peas in my pantry left from making multicolored snacks with my daughter. Now I know what to do with them, thank you. Not sure where to buy curry leaves yet, perhaps Indian store? Anyway, I'm so glad that I stopped by, such a wonderful blog you have here!
I love the natural green color on these Angie. I too am a carb lover and this is so great they are gluten free. Hope you week is going good.

Healthy muffins, so one does not feel bad about eating 6 of them :)

Mr. & Mrs. P
These are so pretty--I love the cheese baked in the middle!
@Golubka Yes, it can be found in Indian stores, but other dried herbs will work great too.
What creative muffins! The color is fabulous.
These look super tasty! I love the color and I just adore poppyseeds :-D. I love savory muffins, I will have to try this one
I am in love with the color of those muffins.
I love how we were both seeing green this past week I love peas, both dried and fresh. These beautiful muffins sounds delicious and I love bit of curry in them too. Great recipe!
You come up with the most amazing creations! These are lovely my friend!
The colour of the muffin itself is very pleasing and attractive,delicious.
Dried peas! What a grand idea. I feel healthy just reading this and green is very appealing today. We are bracing for a snowstorm. (Love the mozzarella in it - but that's a given.)
What an interesting recipe, I had no idea green peas were so high in nutrition. You are very creative to come up with such a unique muffin.
Interesting looking and healthy...Love all ingredients!
Such beautiful, savory muffins! Love the mozzarella balls in each of them...visually interesting as well as yummy!
Wow.. this is the most creative gluten free muffin I've seen. I love that you used dried peas as your "flour" base.. and the savory flavor must have been just wonderful. Not to mention.. they're so pretty!! xx
This is one of the best gf ideas for a muffin I´ve seen! I see pea flour in the store and never know what to do with it. Great recipe Angie!
Very creative Angie...I love the color and the combination of poppy seed and the mozzarella in the center...beautiful pictures.
Hope you are having a great week :)
What beautiful savory muffins! Love the color and the choice of ingredients!
Ahhh! I love the colour- perrrrfect for Spring! These are so cool. Gluten-free, too, it doesn't get any better!
Angie, did I see wrongly no sugar added in? oh this is so suitable for me if I am going to start my diet plan, thanks!
Great! Won't have any guilt to eat more then : ).
Wow! That looks good! I love the color too and using green bean flour is very interesting! got to try this too!

Just with the pic I thought it was matcha, but peas are a lovely surprise in a muffin. Would go great with the sweet pea cocktail I made at easter lol.

Oh my god!!! These look so delicious! At first I thought it was going to be a spinach muffin but the pea and mozzarella was a complete surprise!!! I HAVE to make these :) Gorgeous photo too :)
These sounds so delicious! The color is beautiful too!
You have the most creative recipes. I'm a muffin fiend, but have never made a savory type muffin. It's time I gave it a try.
Angie, how do you come up with this stuff and make it look so good? I might try the wasabi peas for this!
Hey, Angie, this is a unique recipe.... never thought of making muffins with green pea powder! You're a genius!
Angie, these little free green pea muffins look very pretty. I've never thought of adding green pea powder into muffins. Good job!
These sound so good. I'd love to make some to take to work, love the colour of them too.
When I saw these I think, delicious, beauty, perfect and yummy!
I love green peas and these look amazing Angie:)
What a healthy muffin alternative!
What a beautiful shade of green and they must taste as good as they look.
Love, love, love the color of muffins....did I mention earlier that you-are-a-genius...wish I could taste one :(
These are so inspired Angie! What beauties these are with the green pea flour and the mozzarella! Irresistible.
Sounds very interesting. They look like they would be very tasty!
I am so intrigued by these muffins! Love peas (had pea fritters tonight), so will definitely have to try!
Such an innovative recipe this is, Angie..love the colors and the green speckled muffins!
Love the colour of your cake....so green and beautiful, dotted with the poppy seeds. They just freshen up my computer screen :D
MMMM, Angie! these special muffins look very apart, alternative & must be very appetizing & tasty too!
These look beautiful!
Oh Angie, These are gorgeous and look delicious. I love the mozzarella balls popped into the middle. I’m sure the flavor is wonderful. I will have to give these a try!
You've always surprised me with your food combination angie,
green pea is veggie on my old school brain and you've twist it into a muffin....
btw why the oven should be cold temperature? is't it make the muffin dried out?
Angie, they look so pretty and I'm sure they taste as good as they look!
Didn't know that dried peas had so many health benefits, a big additional plus.
Thanks for sharing!
@dentistvschef
I don't know whether cold oven baking makes the baked goods dried out or not, I did so because I didn't want to waste the energy and it's even quite common for pound cakes to start in a cold oven.
These crumbly little muffins look so springy and cute, Angie! I could totally go for one for an afternoon snack. Thanks for sharing!
I would've never thought to use green peas in a muffin. But now that you explained it (gluten free, etc.) it makes sense. And muffins look pretty, too!
i'm in love with that gorgeous color! these are so ridiculously creative, i bet they taste absolutely wonderful!
These pea muffins are so much fun. I love the green color in them. :)
This look soo delicious!Thanks for sharing!
and I thought it was green tea when I first look at it, hehehe... but muffin made from green peas.
Fantastic photos and I am sure muffins tasted good too :D
Never in my wildest dreams have I ever seen, or tasted such a creative and delicious muffin with green peas?...amazing, and genius!
Angie I was so excited to see something gluten free pop up on my latest subscription email to your blog! I have always loved your food (starting with those Bacon Pistashio Cookies so long ago; remember that?) but love that you have a baked good I could eat! Fantastic. And so creative.
I'm so into cooking with veggies (after all, I made the sauerkraut cake!) and these look like something to try. Love the colour, XOXO
This green color is so cute!
What interesting flavors in one bite! This is one of those muffins that you would bite into a get a burst of flavors that you weren't expecting. WOW! Sounds uniquely delicious!
They look lovely! These are great to take as packed lunch. I think my daughter would love them. Lovely presentation as usual!x
he foods are really healthy and easy to make. I’m gonna try cooking this at home. This makes me excited! Thank you so much.
I've never had a savory muffins before. And this has curry leaves in it?! Bravo my friend :)
I didn't realize you could use dried green peas as flour -- that's so creative and brilliant! They sound so healthy and look so vibrant, and I'm sure the mozzarella gives them the perfect finishing touch. Yum!
Perfect for spring Angie! Muffins with sweet spring green peas! With the mozzarella, they must be heavenly!
Roz
Green is my most favorite color, and these are truly the prettiest muffins! What a gorgeous recipe, I need to make them:-) Hugs, Terra
These are gorgeous Angie! At first I thought it was matcha creating that beautiful color; love the peas and would have never thought to add mozzarella here - such a great idea!
These lovely savory muffins are such a verdant green!
My goodness, you're simply genius. These muffins are gorgeous & healthy. Something new to try on. Kudos!
Kristy
Angie-your green pea muffins have to be the prettiest green color I've seen in a muffin!
Angie - these are so creative and look really spectacular!
Very creative to use ground dried green peas for muffins. I only remember them being used in cookies.
I love this green. It is a good alternative from green tea green.
What exactly is a cold-fan assist oven? Would a regular oven require a different temperature/cooking time?
@Jeremy Sandor
To bake those muffins, you don't have to preheat the oven...bake them with cold oven, but with fan on. My oven is a regular one..but you can also try to preheat the oven to 160C/320F and bake 20 minutes.
