Cheese & Spinach Muffins – Glam Radar

My dear readers are constantly berating me for posting too many sweet, calorie-laden recipes! 😉 After multiple requests for a recipe that doesn’t threaten to expand the waistline, I thought I’d share these cheese & spinach muffins. Don’t be scared away by the fact that the ingredients list contains butter, cheese, and milk – if you’re calorie-conscious, these can easily be substituted for more healthy options. So I hope you enjoy these muffins – which are absolutely delicious toasted and buttered (er, I suppose a vegetable oil spread would suffice) – perfect for breakfast and between-meal snacking! img_3367 img_3376 1/2 red onion, finely chopped 250 g (or more) grated cheddar cheese 80 g baby spinach leaves, ripped into pieces salt to taste – especially necessary if the cheese you’re using isn’t very salty Preheat the oven to 170ºC Melt the butter and fry the onion until cooked Put the flour, paprika, baking powder and cheese in a bowl In a separate bowl, mix the egg and milk together Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture 
and beat till well mixed – I used a blender  Stir in onion and spinach Spoon into muffin cases till 2/3 full
Bake for 30 minutes or till deep golden  img_3371 A few of you have asked how I stay slim while indulging in these fattening treats. While I enjoy baking, I find the most pleasurable aspect is sharing these goodies with others! So I indulge in small quantities. Combined with regular exercise (and good genes) I’m able to keep the weight off. I hope that answers your question(s)!* This was adapted from a Hummingbird Bakery recipe
