Ingredient Notes

You’ll need 1 cup of fresh spinach, chopped finely (or 1/2 cup frozen, thawed), 2 tablespoons of olive oil to keep them moist, 1 pound of feta cheese for a creamy, tangy burst, and 1/2 cup of flour to hold it all together. Feel free to use whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.

  2. Gradually stir in the flour until just mixed; don’t overmix.
  3. Spoon the mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Let cool slightly before removing from the tin.

Things I’ve Learned

For best results, ensure your spinach is well-drained if using frozen. These muffins store well in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a month in the freezer. To reheat, just pop them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or in the oven for a few minutes at 350°F (175°C).
