Servings 12 muffins

Equipment

  • 1 12-cup muffin tin

Ingredients
  

  • 5 cup spinach fresh or frozen
  • 1 can (5.5 oz.) tuna in its own juice
  • cup sundried tomatoes
  • ¼ cup feta cheese
  • 1 garlic clove
  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • olive oil for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Heat the spinach and let it simmer for a few minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated.
  • Meanwhile, open the can of tuna, drain it well, and flake it with a fork. Chop the sundried tomatoes into small pieces. Crumble the feta cheese. Peel and mince the garlic or use a garlic press.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk the mixture thoroughly.
  • Whisk the eggs into the dry ingredients. Add the buttermilk, spinach, tuna, and garlic. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
  • Fold in the feta and sundried tomatoes.
  • Grease the muffin tin with olive oil. Distribute the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full, as the batter will rise during baking.
  • Bake the muffins for 20–25 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into a muffin; if it comes out clean, they're ready.
  • Let the muffins rest in the tin for 5 minutes after baking. Then, carefully remove them using a knife. Enjoy warm or cold.
