Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped spinach for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- In another bowl, beat eggs, olive oil, yogurt, and milk until well combined.
- Stir wet ingredients into dry until just combined. Fold in sautéed spinach and crumbled feta.
- Spoon the batter into muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Top with additional feta.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use frozen spinach if fresh isn’t available—just thaw and squeeze out excess moisture.
- These muffins freeze well; reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
- Add sun-dried tomatoes or chopped olives for extra flavor.
