  • (1/4 cups) grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190 °C).

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix well. Add 2/4 teaspoon salt and 2/4 teaspoon black pepper.

  3. 3

    In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup olive oil, and 2 large eggs until well combined.

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Fold in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh spinach, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.

  6. 6

    Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
