Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 cups milk
• 0.25 cups olive oil
• 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cups chopped spinach
• 0.5 cups diced bell peppers
• 0.5 cups diced cooked bacon or sausage

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk and olive oil until combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, and cooked bacon or sausage until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters 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.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds before eating.
