Ingredients

  1. Base Ingredients:
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 tsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp baking soda
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp black pepper
    • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
    • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
    • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1/2 cup finely chopped spinach or kale
    • 1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
    • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
    • 1/4 cup olive oil
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional for extra flavor)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder. Set aside.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, olive oil, egg, and Dijon mustard (if using).
  3. Add Veggies and Cheese: Stir the chopped spinach, red bell pepper, shredded cheddar, and Parmesan cheese into the wet ingredients.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  1. For a fully vegetarian option, use more vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms in the veggie version.
  2. For a low-carb option, substitute the milk with heavy cream and avoid using potatoes or fruits in the sweet version.
  3. Add diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick in the veggie or bacon version.
