Serve these savory muffins hot from the oven slathered with real butter along with Shortcut Avgolémono Soup (Greek Lemon Chicken Rice Soup) made with the Poached Chicken Module for a quick, delicious, and nutritious 30-minute meal with a Mediterranean flair. These muffins are especially delicious (and healthy) made with the Healthy Mixed-Grain Baking Mix ; the multi-grains give the muffins a nutty texture and flavor. They’re also good made with either of the other master mixes, Basic Master Baking Mix and Whole Wheat Master Mix.
12 Muffins
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
5 ounces fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon whole oregano
2 cups Master Baking Mix, Whole Wheat Master Mix, or Healthy Mixed-Grain Baking Mix
1 egg
2/3 cup milk or water
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, divided
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Spray each of 12 cups in a muffin pan liberally with non-stick spray.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet; add the onions and stir over medium heat until softened.
- Add the spinach and oregano; continue cooking until the spinach is limp. Set aside.
- Whisk together the master baking mix, egg, and milk or water; do not over-mix, since some lumps should remain.
- Fold in the spinach mixture and 1/2 cup of the feta cheese.
- Scoop the batter into the muffin cups - a scant 1/4 cup each.
- Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup feta cheese.
- Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
