Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners. Because who likes cleaning up a mess?
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir it up like you mean it!
- Add in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped spinach. You want those greens making friends with the cheese. It’s a party in there!
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and olive oil. Feel free to channel your inner whisking champion.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Don’t overdo it; we want our muffins light and fluffy, not tough like an old boot.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. This is the time to show them who’s the boss!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Your house will start to smell like a cheesy paradise!
- Let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. If you can resist, let them cool completely before eating, but no one can blame you for sneaking one warm muffin!
