Full of healthy ingredients, these muffins are absolutely delicious, they are easy to make and you can take them with you for both, snack or lunch.

I’ve been working on this recipe for Spinach, cheese, onions and fresh garlic muffins for some time. If you’re following me, you probably already know that we like muffins a lot, which is why we do them quite often. However, a recipe for  Spinach, cheese, onions and fresh garlic muffins to please me I haven’t had yet.

That’s so far, because this recipe is exactly what we like, me, the family, but also those who have tried them. They are hot tasted, fluffy, nicely favoured  and full of healthy ingredients like spinach, carrots or onions and fresh garlic. I go great on the lunch box, or when you go on the road and you want a light and healthy snack.

Why do I think you’re going to like it?

Taste – these muffins are absolutely delicious, flavoured with onions and green fresh garlic, but also with basil and dried oregano. They’re soft and fluffy and very well balanced to taste.

They are healthy – you can see that,  just by  watching the list of ingredients below, they are full of natural and healthy ingredients. Made with spinach, carrots, onions and green garlic or sour cream. A nice list of good ingredients but mostly healthy.

They’re done quickly – personally I haven’t dirtied a lot of dishes. I mixed the wet ingredients in a bowl, i.e. eggs, sour cream, cheese, spices….etc, then separately in another bowl I mixed flour with baking powder and baking soda. Then mix all and quickly in the oven. Nothing complicated, simple to do and without many dishes to wash at the end. Only well said 🙂.

What’s the secret to these muffins?

• Mix the dry ingredients separately from the wet ones, then add them over. This way baking powder and and baking soda will be well distributed.
• Use the ingredients at room temperature, so remove the eggs, cheese and sour cream in time from the refrigerator. If you’ve forgotten, no worries I do this quite often. Put the eggs in warm water for a few minutes, heated 30 seconds sour cream and the cheese after you’ve given it to the ray, put it on top of a bowl of warm water. Until you prepare the carrots and the other ingredients all reach the same temperature. 🙂
• Use sour cream, however if you don’t have sour cream, you can confidently use yogurt, or milk. If you use milk, you need 170 ml of milk.

Servings 12 Muffins

Equipment

• non-stick tray for 12 muffins

Ingredients

  

• 2 medium eggs
• 200 gr fresh spinach
• 50 gr grated carrots
• 135 gr grated cheese I used extra mature
• 2 spoons olive oil
• 200 gr sour cream
• 210 gr flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 2 spoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 green onions
• 2 green garlics or teaspoon of mince garlic cloves
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon dried basil or 1 tablespoon fresh basil

Instructions

 

• First prepare the spinach. Boil for 2 or 3 minutes in a pot of water. When it's ready, drain the water and chop it finely. Out of 200 gr fresh spinach I obtained 100 gr spinach boiled and drained of water.
• In a large bowl mix, eggs, spinach, carrots, onions and garlic, basil, oregano, lemon juice, sour cream or milk, oil and cheese.
• Separately in another bowl mix flour, baking powder and baking soda. These are added over the wet ingredients. Mix well with a spoon or spatula. You get a pretty consistent mix that doesn't flow.
• Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with oil or butter. Preheat the oven to 180° C
• The resulting mixture is evenly divided into the 12 forms already prepared, then go to the preheated oven at 200°C for 22-24 minutes. After the first 10 minutes you can lower the temperature to 180°C - 190°C until they are ready.
• Remove the muffins from the shapes immediately after the tray or shapes are no longer very hot, so be careful please. If they remain too long in the tray or silicone shapes, they will get very wet and will not come out of the shapes later.

  Enjoy!
