Feta/Cheddar/Spinach Muffins

A million years ago I made these muffins and just never posted the recipe. My apologies. So here they are. They were yummy and delicious and pretty easy to put together!

Here is what you'll need

1.5 cups of flour
2.5 teaspoons of baking powder
Half a cup of cheddar cheese
Half a cup of feta cheese
1 ounce of butter
Half a red onion chopped
1 cup of milk
1 teaspoon of cayenne
1 egg

First gather all your ingredients, chop your onion and your spinach. Put all your dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl along with your cheese and spinach.

Then melt your butter over the stove and add the onion. You want the onion to be cooked before you add it into your mixing bowl.

In a smaller bowl add in your milk and egg to be whisked together.

Once your whisked, add your wet and dry ingredients into the large bowl and mix well. There is a lot going on in that bowl so take your time to mix. While your mixing you should preheat your oven to 325.

When you feel well mixed grab your baking try and fill it up! I used cupcake liners so they would look a little more festive but of course you don't have to. Fill your tray and place in the oven. I like to use a little ice cream scoop/ melon baller to fill the tray. Helps with spills and to distribute muffin mix evenly.

They should bake for at least 30 min. But it never hurts to check on them. Some ovens may cook faster than others.

Most importantly enjoy the process and enjoy the results!

Happy Monday, happy baking.

Banana Pecan Raisin Muffins

Sundays are a time of relaxing, reality TV watching, and prepping for the next week. I try to not make definite plans for Sundays because I know I will end up breaking them. I do whatever my heart desires on that day; sometimes that means waking up early for the gym, other times it means having a movie marathon with the roomie. This Sunday I woke up with a huge urge to bake! I had some old bananas that I wanted to use so I thought some banana pecan raisin muffins for the next week would be perfect. I love banana muffins because you can really add anything to them!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup of flour

1 cup sugar

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

3 bananas (older bananas are better)

1 egg beaten

1/3 cup canola oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup raisins

1/3 cup pecans

How To:

Preheat the over to 350 degrees and place cupcake liners in muffin tin (will make 12 large muffins)

Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl mash bananas, then add egg, oil, and vanilla and mix well.

Combine wet and dry ingredients then add in raisins and pecans.

Fill muffin tins and bake for 18-24 minutes, muffins will be done when the tops are golden brown and toothpick comes out clean.
