Helpful tools for making savoury muffins
For this recipe, you will need all the ingredients below written, plus regular muffin pan. I use Wilton non-stick muffin pan for 12 muffins. Also, a great helper is ice cream scoop, while scooping the dough inside the muffin pan. Don’t forget to grease your pan before using it or use cupcake paper liners.

I follow the recipe. Muffins were very wet inside , didn’t cook well
Julia
Hi there, sorry to hear your muffins end up wet inside. I would suggest use toothpick next time to check for doneness (as it’s suggested in the recipe). Every oven
bakes differently and most probably yours needed to bake a little longer. Try to add 10 extra minutes with the same temperature suggested in the recipe card. Keep
a close eye on the muffins, because prolonged baking might affect the tops of the muffins. In this case, I would suggest to place aluminum foil on top to prevent
burning the top. Hope this help, let me know if this worked out for you. Happy Holidays! Julia.

Hi Julia, is the 1 cup of spinach frozen or fresh? Thanks.
Julia
Hi JH, It should be fresh baby spinach. Thank you for pointing it out, I have added it in the recipe card. Julia.
