Spinach and Cheese Muffins Recipe
-
- Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan forced. Grease a 12-hole muffin pan.
- In a large bowl mix together the wholemeal flour, cheese, spring onion and baby spinach.
- In a large jug, combine eggs, NAN Toddler Milk Drink and melted butter and mix together. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; do not over-mix the batter.
- Divide the mixture among the prepared tray and then bake in the oven for 18-22 minutes or until golden.
- Allow to cool slightly in the tray before turning the muffins out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
TIP: For an extra cheesy touch, top each muffin with a little grated cheese before baking for a golden, melty finish.
