- While the leek is cooking, place flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and chilli (if using) in a mixing bowl. Add oil, eggs and plant milk and whisk together for a smooth batter.
- Mix in the cooked leek, the crumbled feta and spring onion and combine.
- Divide the batter in between 8 cup cakes forms, sprinkle with a little bit of feta cheese and chives on tip. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the muffins are firm and nicely browned. Take out of the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
