My two boys absolutely love ham, but there are only so many ham sandwiches you can make before they need some variety. These Leg Ham, Cheese and Corn Muffins are perfect little savoury bites that are perfect to pack in the lunchbox. They are filled with flavour, freezer friendly and best of all easy to make. The children can even get in the kitchen and help you mix these ones up.
These would even be ideal little breakfast bites, make them the night before when you know you need to be out the door quick the next morning.

1/2 Tsp Salt
1/4 Tsp Sugar
1/2 Cup Tasty Cheese, grated

Hi Amanda, can I make this in the cake pop maker???
Hi Victoria, that’s a great idea – this mix should go well in the cake pop maker.
Do these need to be refrigerated? How long will they keep?
Yes they do and they will last for up to 5 days.
Hi. Can I replace the flour with almond meal or buckwheat? My daughter cannot have gluten? Tganks!
Buckwheat or gluten free flour should be ok.
Tasty & easy, but next time I’d use more ham!
Thankyou so much for the comment about polenta being cornmeal!!!! I disregard so many recipes causer I can never find cornmeal.
