These pumpkin and spinach muffins are one of the easiest and tastiest snack recipes that we’ve ever come across! They take 5 minutes to whip up and then take just 20-25 minutes in the oven to cook.
They are perfect to be made up in bulk over the weekend and then just chuck them in your lunch box each day during the week for a great afternoon pick me up. You can also freeze them and grab them as you need. They’re delicious popped in the microwave for 10 seconds and served with a small amount of cream cheese! Yum!
Pumpkin and Spinach Muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour, wholemeal, self-raising
- 1 tbsp thyme, fresh
- ⅓ cup parsley, flat leaf, fresh chopped
- 1 cup pumpkin grated
- 1 cup spinach, baby finely shredded
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup milk, any
- 2 egg whisked
- ¼ cup oil, olive
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Simply combine all ingredients together in a large bowl and mix well until a thick batter forms. Season with salt and pepper.
- Grease your muffin tray or line with muffin cases and dollop a large spoonful of the mixture into each muffin hole (the muffins will rise so don’t fill them too full).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer can be inserted and removed cleanly.
- Serve warm or allow to cool and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for later.
