Ingredients:

1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/4 cup butter
54g
1 large zucchini
300g
2 cups spinach
60g
1/2 cup feta cheese
120g
1 egg
50g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
4 cherry tomatoes
80g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the self-raising flour. Set aside.
3. Melt Butter: In a microwave-safe container, melt the butter. Allow it to cool slightly.
4. Grate Zucchini: Grate the zucchini using a coarse grater. Once grated, gently squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Add the grated zucchini to the bowl with the flour.
5. Chop Spinach: Chop the spinach into small pieces. Add the chopped spinach to the bowl with the flour and zucchini.
6. Add Feta Cheese: Crumble the feta cheese and add it to the bowl with the other ingredients.
7. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and then add the milk and melted butter. Mix well to combine.
8. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet mixture into the well and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
9. Prepare Cherry Tomatoes: Quarter the cherry tomatoes. Gently fold the quartered tomatoes into the muffin batter.
10. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
11. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
12. Cool: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
13. Serve: Enjoy your zucchini, tomato, and spinach muffins warm or at room temperature. They make a great snack or side for any meal.

Tips:

- Grate the zucchini finely to ensure it blends well with the other ingredients and adds moisture to your muffins.

- Squeeze out any excess water from the grated zucchini with a kitchen towel to prevent the muffins from becoming too soggy.

- Use fresh spinach, but if you only have frozen spinach, make sure to thaw and drain it well before mixing.

- Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces to ensure an even distribution of cheesy goodness in every bite.

- For a fluffier texture, avoid overmixing the batter once you’ve added the flour.

- Grease your muffin tin or use paper liners to prevent the muffins from sticking.

- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Now that you've baked these Zucchini, Tomato, and Spinach Muffins, enjoy the delightful blend of textures and flavors.
