Whether you're a seasoned baker or a novice in the kitchen, this recipe is straightforward and results in delicious muffins that everyone will love.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the muffin cups with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, crumbled feta cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, grated parmesan cheese, and chopped fresh dill. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Add the chopped spinach to the dry mixture. Ensure the spinach is well-coated with the flour mixture to prevent clumping.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and lightly beaten egg until well combined.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients mixture. Pour the wet ingredients into the well. Gently fold the mixtures together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.
- Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. This ensures the muffins have enough room to rise.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Make sure to thoroughly drain and chop the spinach to avoid excess moisture in the muffins.
- Crumble the feta cheese finely so it integrates well into the batter.
- If using oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, be sure to drain them well before chopping.
- Allow the butter to cool slightly after melting before adding it to the milk and egg mixture to prevent the egg from cooking.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients to avoid overmixing, which can result in dense muffins.
- Feel free to add a pinch of salt if you prefer a slightly saltier taste, but remember that the feta and parmesan cheeses already add saltiness.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle some grated parmesan on top of the muffins before baking for a golden, cheesy crust.
Spinach & feta muffins are not only tasty but also nutritious and easy to make. The combination of fresh spinach, creamy feta, and tangy sun-dried tomatoes creates a unique flavor profile that is sure to impress. Serve these muffins warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the compliments from your family and friends.
