Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
