Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup diced cooked bacon
- 0.5 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 cup chopped spinach
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and olive oil until combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced cooked bacon, diced bell peppers, and chopped spinach until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Using a spoon or batter scoop, divide the muffin batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center 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 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months and reheated in the microwave as needed.
