Spinach and Feta Muffins

I have been experimenting with savoury snacks recently in quest to find home made food which is easy to feed my daughter on the go. I experimented with a few different muffin recipes to little success before making these, which are a lovely consistency and very tasty. I lowered the salt content for my daughter so you might want to up it slightly, though the feta will add some saltiness to them. 

 

Makes 9 muffins (cup-cake sized)

Ingredients:

2 large handfuls baby spinach, chopped
butter
125g self raising flour
pinch salt (use more if desired)
1½ tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
4 tbsp vegetable oil
115ml milk
1 egg
100g feta cheese, crumbled


Instructions:

Preheat oven to 200 degrees C/400 degrees F/Gas Mark 6
Line a 12 hole cup-cake tray with cake liners

1. Fry spinach in butter on a medium heat until wilted. Remove from heat and place to one side.

2. Mix flour, baking powder, salt and garlic powder in a bowl.

3. In a measuring jug, beat egg and milk together. Add the oil and mix through, Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to incorporate.

4. Add the feta and cooked spinach and mix.

5. Transfer mixture to a muffin/cup-cake tray; it should make around 9 muffins. Cook for 25-30 minutes until cooked through.
