Liver muffins

The liver is considered a storehouse of nutrients. There is practically no fat in it, and in terms of protein volume it is in no way inferior to chicken breast. In many countries, liver is considered a delicacy and is regularly included in your diet. I suggest making delicious and healthy snack muffins from offal.

Thanks to vegetables, liver muffins turn out very juicy and aromatic. Baking in portioned molds gives the appetizer an appetizing appearance and simplifies serving. Muffins taste like liver cutlets, but they are more tender and have less calories. They will not harm your figure; for the dough, instead of wheat flour, we will use oatmeal. In my opinion, this is a versatile snack. It will diversify the daily menu and will decorate the holiday table. Liver muffins are best served hot. They go well with any side dish. A great addition would be cranberry or any other sweet and sour sauce.
