Step 1

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

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped spinach, diced red bell pepper, and chopped green onions. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

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

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