- In another pan add a little oil and saute chopped spinach, let it cook lightly
- Add corn, saute, mix well and set aside
- In another small pan, lightly toast the oats and keep aside to cool
- Meanwhile the milk-butter mixture would have cooled. To this add whisked yogurt, mix well

- Pre-heat oven to 180 Deg C. Line a muffin tray with muffin/cup cake liners. Grease them slightly with oil or butter
- Spoon muffin mixture into each of the muffin cases
- Add toasted oats on top. Add grated cheese on top and brush lightly with milk
- Bake at 180 for 18-20 minutes till done and the top is golden. A toothpick should come out clean when inserted into a muffin
- Lightly cool them and serve with salsa or ketchup
Do not overmix the batter/mixture. Fold and make muffins
Only a pinch of salt will be enough as cheese renders enough saltiness to the muffins
Add any kind of cheese which melts. Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Gruyere or regular processed cheese like Amul
Oats give crispiness to the top of the muffins and they look fancy just like in the bakeries
Use frozen corn and spinach if you want
