Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 unit Egg, large
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and ground nutmeg.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and egg. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the minced garlic, chopped spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, and ground black pepper until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, evenly fill the mini muffin tin with the batter, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
