SPINACH MUFFINS

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.

Tips:

Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a milder flavor and more nutrients than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before adding it to the batter.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: The muffins will rise as they bake, so don't fill the cups all the way to the top.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20 minutes.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack: This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These spinach muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They're packed with nutrients like iron, folate, and fiber, and they can be made with a variety of different ingredients, so you can customize them to your own taste. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast or a healthy snack, these spinach muffins are a great option.
