Spinach Muffins

Submitted by karen

"I got this recipe from my sister, Judy. They are a great side dish for dinner or soup, and are easy to make. These muffins might just convert some non-spinach lovers. If you make these in mini-muffin tins, bake for 10-15 minutes."

These were surprisingly good to me! I had to stop myself at 3 so we're having the rest tonight. I agree with the others -- it needs some spice to wake it up. It was still a good recipe. Made for PAC Spring 2012.

I tagged these to make for a kiddo get-together and they definitely served their purpose (ie getting kids to eat greens!). That said, they were very mild and I would probably add some garlic and herbs next time. I put the cottage cheese and spinach mixture into the blender to disguise the spinach a bit and I think that worked well. Thanks for posting! Made for Went to Market Tag.

These were light and tender. Mild flavor that leans itself well as a side to soups. While I like them, DH really liked them. Made two changes used eggbeaters instead of eggs and 1 tablespoon dehydrated onion in place of onions. The only thing I would do different is to fallow some of the other reviews and make them in a mini-muffins. Thanks so much for the post.

Karen, these were so good! I made mini muffins and I got 40 of them. I cooked for 15 minutes for mini-muffins. I did add a bit of salt and some garlic powder, but felt they could have used still a bit more flavor. Maybe some chopped garlic or some more flavorful cheese? They were so quick and easy and I will definitely make again. Thanks for posting! :)

We loved these little babies. I made them my mini muffin pan and added a teaspoon of salt as suggested from another review along with a pinch of cayenne pepper and white pepper. I used green onions for the onion. Still had to cook them for 20 minutes. Very tasty. Thanks
