Tips:
- Prepare ingredients in advance: Chop spinach, grate cheese, and measure all other ingredients before starting. This will ensure that the muffin batter comes together quickly and easily.
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess moisture before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill muffin cups evenly: Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to fill the muffin cups evenly. This will help ensure that the muffins bake evenly.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
