thermofun says
Simone I haven't made these for so long - so I'm really going on memory! I think 24 mini muffin size or 12 large muffin size. I hope this helps. :)
Tracy says
I was skeptical about these, as I'm not a huge fan of coriander and thought they might be a little bland, but I've learned to trust Leonie by now! They're amazing! Should've made a double batch, as I've eaten quite a few already and they're supposed to go on the freezer for my gender reveal party this weekend! Oopsie! Will definitely make these again. So easy!
thermofun says
Thank you Tracy I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed them. :)

Aryjana says
They were beautiful... I too used basil and added an extra egg and a little milk just to make the mix go further. Great for master six to put in his lunch box as he doesn't like many store bought savoury snacks so always after something a little different to offer him.
thermofun says
Great to hear Aryjana! Especially pleased that Master Six enjoyed them too! :)
Aryjana says
Hi
I am just making these and the mixture doesn't seem to be very runny. Should I be adding a little milk and maybe a 2nd egg?
thermofun says
I'm sorry Aryjana I have just seen your comment now - so I'm assuming they are already cooked and eaten! How did they go?
Suzi says
These are soooo delicious! I made with basil because I didn't have any coriander and my three boys snaffled them ravenously. Thank you :)
thermofun says
Oh that would have been a great combo too Suzi! Will have to remember that next time I make these.
