Spinach and Feta Muffins

Submitted by Jen T

"A heathly and easy to make savoury muffin. This comes from my "Annabelle Cooks" recipe book. You can make texas, regular,or mini muffins, depending on how you want to serve them:) ****Oooops!!!! Thanks to a very observant chef I had missed out the baking powder. This has now been corrected in the ingredients list. My apologies to anyone who has made them without this essential ingredient!!!! I must have had a 'senior' moment :)"

These recipe made 24 muffins (double what I expected) . The mixture was very sticky, and I wasn'y overwhelmed by the flavour... they were rather bland. I put in some chilli flakes to. I'm not sure if I would bother making this recipe again.

These had great flavour. Not too spinach-y. I did however make one unexpected change. I used dried mint flakes instead of nutmeg as I didn't have any. The way the recipe is now they make a dense muffin but with the addition of the (accidentally omitted) baking powder these will be a a much lighter treat. I will be making them again.

I don't make muffins all that often and found this recipe very straight forward. I omitted the nutmeg as I didn't have any on hand. Absolutely delicious :yummy: Thanks for posting.
