About the recipe

These mini muffins are a perfect breakfast muffin or on-the-go snack. You can also team them with some veggie sticks and dips and offer as a light lunch. I’ve made these for a few parties and they always go down really well, especially when they are warm out of the oven.

Prep: 10 minutes

Cook: 25 minutes

Makes: 12 muffins

What you will need

- 80g spinach

- 2 free-range eggs

- 100ml milk of choice

- 50g unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for greasing

- 150g self-raising flour

- 120g Cheddar cheese, grated

- 3 spring onions, thinly sliced

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a 12-hole muffin tray with cases or grease the holes with a little butter.

2. Put the spinach in a colander in the sink and pour a kettleful of boiling water over it until it’s all wilted. Rinse the wilted spinach with cold water until it is cool enough to handle then squeeze out as much of the water as possible and pat it dry with kitchen paper. Once it is as dry as you can get it, roughly chop.

3. Beat the eggs in a large bowl then add the milk and melted butter and combine. Add the flour, cheese, spring onions and chopped wilted spinach and mix until evenly distributed.

4. Divide the batter between the muffin cases and cook for 15–20 minutes, until golden and a skewer comes out clean.
