Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Grease a muffin tin or line it with cupcake liners.
2. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to combine.
3. Add the chopped spinach and shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. Toss the ingredients together to evenly distribute them in the flour mixture.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Add the milk and melted butter to the eggs and whisk again.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about 3/4 of the way full.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve the spinach cheddar muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
10. Enjoy!
