savoury muffins with spinach, tomato, and feta cheese are just what you need.
Packed with wholesome ingredients and bursting with Mediterranean-inspired
flavours, they're perfect for busy mornings or as a delightful accompaniment to

Ingredients:
- 2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose
flour
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
- ¼ tsp (1.25 mL) baking soda
- ½ tsp (2.5 mL) salt
- ¼ tsp (1.25 mL) pepper
- ¼ tsp (1.25 mL) garlic powder
- ¼ tsp (1.25 mL) dried oregano
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup (175 mL) milk
- ½ cup (125 mL) melted butter
- 2 tsp (10 mL) granulated sugar
- 2 cups (500 mL) packed baby
spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 Roma or plum tomato, finely
chopped
- ½ cup (125 mL) finely crumbled
feta cheese
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) grated Parmesan
cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners and set them aside for later.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour,
baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried
oregano. Set this dry mixture aside for now.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk,
melted butter, and granulated sugar until well blended.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the
dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped spinach, finely
chopped tomato, crumbled feta cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese until
evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared
muffin cups, filling each one about three-quarters full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to
25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin
comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan
on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing them from the pan and
transferring them to the wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store the muffins in an
airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, or freeze them
for up to 1 month.
Notes:
- For an extra indulgent touch,
consider adding crumbled bacon to the muffin batter before baking. The
salty richness of bacon pairs beautifully with the savoury flavours of
spinach, tomato, and feta cheese.
With their
tender crumb and irresistible combination of flavours, these savoury muffins
are sure to become a breakfast favourite in no time. Enjoy them fresh out of
the oven or save them for later - either way, they're bound to brighten your
day!
