Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups 2% milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cups chopped baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tray by coating it with oil or placing paper liners inside.
  2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
  3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
    • In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, plain yogurt, and olive oil until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bites dense.
  5. Add the Spinach:
    • Fold in the chopped baby spinach until it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Fill the Muffin Tin:
    • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake the Spinach Bites:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a bite comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the spinach bites to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
