Step 1

Preheat oven to 160°C/320°F and on a lower shelf of the oven, half fill a baking tray with boiling water (see tip below).

Step 2

Sift flour, baking powder and xanthan gum into a large bowl, then add the bran (mix again).

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs with the cream and milk.

Step 4

Add capsicum, crumbled feta and basil to the egg mixture.

Step 5

Make a well in the flour mix and fold wet mix into the dry ingredients (you may have to add more milk to achieve a dough that is slightly sloppy, but not too wet).

Step 6

Place large muffin cases in a muffin tray and spray well with canola oil.

Step 7

Fill muffin cases (see tip below) and tap down top surface with a wet finger.

Step 8

Sprinkle the top of each muffin with grated cheese, then paprika.

Step 9

Bake for about 17 minutes until golden brown (an inserted skewer should be clean when removed).

Step 10

Cool in the tray for 5 minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool further.
