Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Fresh spinach
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 60 milliliters Olive oil
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with non-stick spray.
Rinse the fresh spinach, pat it dry, and roughly chop it. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Mix in the milk, olive oil, and minced garlic until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold the chopped spinach and grated Parmesan cheese into the batter, mixing just until evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your healthy spinach muffins!
