Bacon, Cheese, Corn & Spinach Muffins

With Parmesan cheese, tasty cheese and a sharp cheddar cheese, cheese lovers will be in heaven with this recipe.
These are a firm favourite with the twins for lunch either hot or cold. When they were babies I used to make these as mini muffins as they were easy to hold, now they are at school the mini loaf tin is the perfect size for their lunchbox.
For those of you who love savoury rolls and scrolls but want a change, (or perhaps you find the cost to buy them excessive and lack time to make them yourself), this is a quick alternative with no dreaded kneading, proofing or rising required.
Whether you make them as mini loaves or as muffins, one thing I can promise you is that they will not last long so make a double batch!
