Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ¾ cups all purpose flour (you can substitute partly with whole wheat flour)
¼ cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon paprika
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ cup low fat milk
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 eggs
1 ¼ cup thinly sliced fresh spinach
¾ cup crumbled feta
1/3 cup drained and patted dry jarred Florina peppers or other red pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven at 375 F (190 C).
  • In a large bowl mix the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, paprika, and salt)
  • In another bowl mix the olive oil, eggs, milk.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until blended with a wooden spoon. The dough will be thick.
  • Add the feta, spinach and peppers and mix gently until all ingredients are spread throughout the whole mixture.
  • Divide mixture in muffin pan that you have lined with muffin/cupcake liners or you can use a silicon muffin tray and grease it with a bit of olive oil (I have used it here). You should have enough for 12 medium muffins.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes. Remove when toothpick comes out clear when inserted in the muffin.
  • Let them cool for 10 minutes and remove from tray. Let them cool a couple of hours before serving.
