Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1 cup chopped spinach
• 0.5 cup grated carrot
• 1 cup milk
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 2 items large eggs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the grated cheddar cheese, chopped spinach, and grated carrot to the dry ingredients and mix to evenly distribute the add-ins.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and parsley until well combined.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing.

Step 6

If desired, stir in the red chili flakes for a spicy kick.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin holes, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 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 tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy! These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
