Veggie & Cheese Mini Muffins Ingredients: 1/2 cup grated carrot 1/4 cup finely chopped spinach (optional) 1/2 cup whole wheat flour or plain flour 1/4 cup cheese (cheddar or mozzarella works well) 1/4 cup unsweetened yogurt 1/4 cup milk (or more as needed) 1 egg 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt (optional, depending on taste preference) 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter A pinch of herbs (optional like oregano or thyme) Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a mini muffin tray or line it with muffin liners.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk the egg, yogurt, milk, and olive oil or butter together.
Add Vegetables: Add the grated carrot and chopped spinach (if using) to the wet mixture. Stir well.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and cheese.
Combine Wet and Dry: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. The batter should be thick but slightly pourable. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more milk to adjust the consistency.
Scoop and Bake: Spoon the batter into the mini muffin tray, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown.
Cool: Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Benefits: Veggies: The carrots and spinach provide essential vitamins and minerals like Vitamin A and iron. Cheese: Adds protein and calcium, supporting bone health. Whole Wheat Flour: Provides fiber, helping with digestion and keeping your child fuller for longer.
