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. These muffins are not only tasty but also packed with nutrients, making them a perfect addition to your meal prep rotation.
