    Who wouldn't love a tasty, light-as-air handheld focaccia muffin? These are easy to make and completely delicious to eat.

    Focaccia Muffin Recipe

    *Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2013. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

    **Note - This post contains affiliate links. As always, I truly thank you for your support!

    Since I found this recipe for Focaccia Muffins in one of my favorite cookbooks for lower-fat, lower-calorie cooking called "Eat More Of What You Love" by Marlene Koch I've made them several times.

    Each time I've made them I'm blown away by the taste, texture, and flavor versatility of these little gems.

    The first time I made these focaccia muffins I added dried basil and some oregano into the batter as the recipe called for.

    The second time I made them I went with some chopped fresh rosemary and garlic which completely changed the flavor profile but not the essential essence of the muffins themselves.

    I think the next time I make them I'll add maybe add some chives and or dill.

    Or maybe thyme or sage.

    Or maybe...(you get the idea). 

    This recipe is so no-fail and fun to play with that you're only limited by your imagination.

    Plus with the warmer weather coming and the plethora of fresh garden herbs at your fingertips ready for picking, now is the time to get busy making these muffins.

    I promise you'll love them as much as we do.

    They ROCK!!!

    You'll simply love the texture of these muffins.

    So much in fact that you might as well make a double batch because they'll go fast!

    Plus the leftovers are good for making some mini-sandwiches or even mini pizza crusts when cut in half.

    Excuse me but I'm off to the kitchen now to bake some more! 🙂
