Bake moist, savory muffins featuring a natural green color from spinach, mixed with diced ham and cheese for a fun brunch item.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves, packed
  • 1/4 cup cooked ham, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  3. In a blender, combine the milk, egg, and spinach. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and bright green.
  4. Pour the wet green mixture and the vegetable oil into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the diced ham, shredded cheese, and chopped parsley until evenly distributed.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a stronger green color, use 3/4 cup of the spinach mixture.
  • You can substitute cooked bacon bits for the ham if desired.
  • These muffins freeze well; cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to three months.
