They’re hearty without being heavy, sneak in some veggies for that feel-good boost, and taste like a treat we deserve.

Ingredients
For the Muffins
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped (or 1/2 cup frozen, thawed and drained)
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C)—it’s muffin time!
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly—because we’re not here for stuck muffins.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Stuff
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and oregano until combined. This is our savory base!
Step 3: Blend the Wet Stuff
- In another bowl, beat the egg, then stir in Greek yogurt, olive oil, milk, and minced garlic until smooth. Add the chopped spinach and feta, mixing it all together—green and cheesy goodness awaits!
Step 4: Combine and Fill
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir gently until just combined—lumps are fine, we’re keeping it tender.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 5: Bake and Enjoy
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then move to a rack—or snag one warm, I won’t judge!
- Grab one and go, or sit down and savor—you’ve just made breakfast brilliance!
Cori’s Flavor Tips for the 40+ Crew
- Quick Swap: Use cheddar or goat cheese if feta’s not your thing—make it yours!
- Veggie Boost: Toss in some diced bell pepper or zucchini for extra color.
- Freeze It: Pop extras in the freezer—reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds and you’re golden.
- Pair It: A smear of cream cheese or a side of fruit makes it a mini meal.
