Spinach Cheddar Muffins

  3.8 – 58 reviews  • Savory Muffin Recipes

In order to make a flavorful and enticing vegan side dish, this cabbage recipe employs Indian spices. I enjoy sandwiching some cabbage between two pieces of garlic naan bread to serve this with.

These came out amazing. I added an additional tbs butter, two green onions, parsley, dill, pepper, three heaping tbs corn meal, three heaping tbs nonfat Greek yogurt, and an extra egg. I subbed 2% for the whole milk as well. I’m definitely making again.

By itself the recipe sounded blah, so I crumbled 3 strips of crisp bacon into the mixture. That’s the only thing I can actually taste. They are nice and moist and with the spinach, pretty healthy. But next time I will try them with 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
Miguel Powell
These are great, but made a few modifications. Used 2 eggs instead of 1, added a bit of garlic powder and black pepper. Also used fresh spinach instead of frozen. Recommend using sharp cheddar as well.

I made 2 batches … the first with more cheddar; the second with more cheddar, pepper, onion powder and garlic salt. The second batch were definitely more flavorful, but both were good. They were a bit spongey – I’m not sure how to fix that.
Jessica Jones
I added bacon to them and I will do that again!
David Torres
As per the reviews I read, I also added bacon, 2 tsp’s of extra butter, chili flakes and garlic salt. They were delicious!
Shane Glass
Delicious! I will definitely make again and next time I’ll also try adding some diced onion and garlic for added flavour.

Completely bland and with an odd texture. Waste of ingredients, I don’t know why but I think it would make a good dumpling with some pepper added.
Michael Velez
Used beetroot instead of spinach, great taste!
Julia Carroll
These were OK. Good if you’re a fan of savory treats. I was skeptical to try it as listed since lots of reviews complained about blandness, so I added some onion powder, garlic powder, and sriracha to give it some flavor. They also turned out a little dry. Maybe more butter is needed.
David Rivera
Just made these!! Turned out a little bland…. will definitely try to make again one more time with some of the other reviewers suggestions bc I love spinach and cheddar…. just something about these is off. Not my fav but my boyfriend likes them so thank you for the recipe!! 🙂

The recipe looked like it might be bland and reviews said it was as written. I really wanted a spinach and cheddar muffin. I added 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion salt. I melted 8 tbsps butter. I added a pinch of salt and pepper. I used fresh spinach instead of frozen. We really enjoyed these Cheddar Spinach muffins with these changes.

As written, these muffins need a lot of help. After being very unhappy with the first batch (made exactly as recipe states) I added minced onion, a couple cloves garlic a 1/2 teas fresh nutmeg and more cheese. I also made a separate batch with dried mustard powder and liberal dashes of hot sauce. My family appreciated the changes.

I haven’t made this recipe yet. I am discouraged because I could not read the complete review nor could I print creviews

I added some freshly ground black pepper to the batter. When there was only 15 minutes left, I have sprinkled on small pieces of thinly sliced smoked ham. For the last 4 minutes I have turned on the fan for some color. Yumm 🙂
Christine Skinner
I just made these. I should have read the reviews. I would have added chopped garlic and pepper. Overall, they were good they just need the extra seasoning. I sprinkled the tops with more cheese garlic powder, pepper and Parmesan cheese. The crust was wonderful.

I used 1 cup of white whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup of all purpose flour, I added 1/8 tsp of nutmeg and 1/8 tsp of dried crushed thyme also to the batter. I tried this recipe but I think it needed garlic butter with dried red pepper flakes, so I melted a 1/2 stick of butter with fresh garlic cloves and some red pepper flakes sprinkled in with a pinch of salt since the muffins needed more salt. I brushed this on top of the baked muffins and they tasted way better.

I did this recipe yesterday and it turned out delicious! They remind me of pesto muffins. I will definitely remake this, and it was so easy! I did changed though some details according to others’ reviews, and I’m sure that these tips improved a lot the recipe. I used fresh spinach that were quickly sauteed before incorporating them. Also I put 8 tbsp of butter instead of 6, added garlic powder and put 1 tsp of baking powder instead of 2. For the baking time, I baked them 15 minutes, and added another 5 minutes, and they were perfect! Not dry at all, super moist. I put them in the freezer later and today they still tasted great and soft after being heated. Only thing that I will do next time is instead of putting 1/2 tsp garlic powder I’ll put only 1/8 tsp!
