Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup diced cooked bacon
- 0.5 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 cup chopped spinach
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and olive oil until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced cooked bacon, diced bell peppers, and chopped spinach until evenly distributed.
Using a spoon or batter scoop, divide the muffin batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months and reheated in the microwave as needed.
