Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Fold in the spinach, grated carrot, chopped bell pepper, and green onions into the flour mixture.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly with the buttermilk and olive oil until smooth.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the shredded low-fat cheese and black pepper into the batter.

Step 7

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
