Chickpea Onion Muffins With Sesame Seeds And Cheese - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 tablespoons sesame seeds, dry roasted in frying pan
    1 2/3 cups self rising flour
    1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/4 teaspoon chili powder
    1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and mashed (with a potato masher)
    2 eggs, beaten
    100 ml oil (6-7 tbs)
    3 tablespoons tomato sauce (may need more)
    3/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated
    2 spring onions, sliced (slender)
Preparation
    In a skillet dry toast the sesame seeds over medium heat until lightly browned and fragrant. Let cool.
    In a big bowl combine flour, sesame seeds and spices (garlic, cumin and chili powder).
    In a second bowl combine eggs, tomato sauce, oil and mashed chickpeas.
    Add to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. If dough is too dry, add a tbs or two more of tomato sauce. If dough is too wet, add a bit more flour. Do not overmix.
    Lastly fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and spring onion slices.
    Fill into prepared muffin tins and bake in the pre-heated oven at 180\u00b0C/350\u00b0F for 20-25 minutes or until skewer inserted in the middle of the muffins comes out clean.
    Enjoy! :).
