Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease 8 holes of a muffin tin with the spray or sunflower oil and set aside.

- Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the muffins have risen slightly, are firm to the touch and lightly golden. Then, remove from the oven and leave to cool a little.
- Place the salad leaves on a large serving plate. Whisk the oil and vinegar together in a small bowl or mug with a little salt and pepper and pour over the leaves.
- Using a small, sharp knife, loosen the edges of each muffin from the tin and carefully pop them out.
- Arrange them on top of the salad leaves. Rip up the basil leaves, scatter them over the top, and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a better flavor and texture than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw and squeeze out all the excess water before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups all the way to the top: This will help the muffins rise evenly.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help the muffins rise quickly and prevent them from becoming dry.
- Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will help them hold their shape.
