Zucchini Spinach Feta Muffins – Do I need to say more? I absolutely love savoury muffins! There are so many ways to pack goodness into muffins whilst still making them totally scrummy for your little ones. This combination is a guaranteed win!
Spinach, zucchini and feta are match made in heaven and are wonderful together in savoury muffins or in other baking. They are at their best straight out of the oven! I literally munched 3 muffins one after another! If you’re not a feta fan, swap with some grated mature cheddar/gouda instead.
These make a perfect breakfast, snacks, lunch, lunchbox or any time of the day really. My son asked me if these are cheese bread. Haha
I had a little helper chopping the spinach today, so very proud of him! 🙂
I usually use a mini/standard size silicone muffin form but decided to change it up a bit and wished I didn’t…
It been while since I’ve used paper muffin cups and now I remember why! The way how the muffins stick to the paper is so annoying! It feels like half the muffin is stuck to the paper. 🙁
Make 14 standard size muffins

Method

- Preheat oven to 160C and oil the muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and garlic powder. Lightly beat the eggs first then add it to the flour mixture together with oil, milk and feta. Give it a stir. Lastly add zucchini & spinach and give it one last stir.
- Fill prepared muffin cups to about 3/4 full and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Test for doneness with a tooth pick. If it comes out non sticky then they are done.
