Cornmeal Cheese Bomb Muffins - Magical Ingredients

Muffins are always yum for a breakfast or as a snack for kids. And, if the muffins have an ooey-gooey surprise inside, all the more wanted always by the kids. These are cheese bombs and these are totally fun and extremely delicious to have. They are eggless and the recipe is great for people with egg allergies and vegetarians. The flaxseed helps in binding everything. The acid from the buttermilk helps with the texture of these soft muffins. I have used a little serrano pepper and chili flakes. The muffins are not spicy at all. I would love to have a spicier one. Habaneros can be used instead of serrano if you prefer a muffin with a punch. Also, I have used different cheese flavors. Feel free to use any favorite cheese of yours. I like habanero jack. I did use habanero jack, pepper jack, and chipotle cheddar to stuff the muffins according to the preferences in our home. The options are wide with different cheese varieties thereby giving very flavorful end results, just use a melting cheese. They are perfect for breakfast. They are great for weekend brunch with chili or soup. The fluffy, savory, delicious bombs will sure be everyone's favorite.

My kids love cheese bombs. Muffin cheese bombs are most frequently made in our home and it gets emptied in a jiffy! This is my post for this year's first #MuffinMonday hosted by Stacy. I selected this muffin as this is the most favored one in our home, and it has a surprise cheesy center. All of us hope for a great year and hence want the first #MuffinMonday post to be the one with a filled surprise.
