Pumpkin, Feta and Spinach Muffins

This Pumpkin, Feta and Spinach savoury muffin recipe is a great lunch item for school or for the adults of the family. Or as a healthy and delicious grab and go breakfast item!

I am currently on the quest to fill our freezer up with alternatives to sandwiches for school and work lunches that are tasty, satisfying and reasonably healthy.  When I think of a muffin, I usually think of the sweet variety. However, these Pumpkin, Feta and Spinach savoury muffins are a great lunchtime hunger buster which are filled with vegetables and can be served with a side of salad.

My favourite divided lunchboxes pictured below are now available in my shop here in a pack of five. I have used these for my kids school lunches for years!

Put the spinach in a strainer and squeeze as much of the moisture from the spinach as you can.

Resist the desire to over stir the mixture, this will prevent the muffin from being dense and also keep your diced pumpkin in shape.

This recipe makes 12 regular sized muffins, but you can use a 24 hole mini tray to make mini muffins for the kid’s lunchboxes.  Freeze the muffins you don’t pack for lunch for another day.


Silicone Muffin Trays

Silicone bakeware rangeI like to use my 12 Cup Muffin Pan for this recipe, but by slightly changing up the cooking temp you could make these bigger by using the 6 Cup Muffin Pan (cook for a little longer), or go for bite-sized snacks by using the 24 Cup Muffin Pan (cook for a little less time).

Whatever muffin pan you decide to use, I strongly suggest that it’s silicone. They are HEAPS easier to clean, plus the muffins slide out effortlessly.

I thought about introducing my review of the Miele I thought about introducing my review of the Miele Triflex HXI Pro with a vacuum joke… but then realised they always suck (sorry, I couldn’t help myself – lol!)
 
In all honesty though, I have a lot of boxes I like ticked when picking the perfect vacuum cleaner. Visit the link in my bio to see if Miele’s first handstick vacuum managed to tick all these boxes for me!

My day has consisted of a moment of binge watching My day has consisted of a moment of binge watching Firefly Lane. Then running kids around. 

I’m putting a candle on to sit for a moment. Then it involves more mums taxi. I’ll cherish these moments though cause they will stop soon enough. Then what am I going to do when I’m not running kids around? Ooh the thought 🤪
White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies 🍪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This recipe was contributed by Tracey (a lovely member of our community!). She suggests using an ice cream scoop to shape the cookies, which should give them a lovely rippled texture on top. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The base recipe without the white chocolate and cranberries can be used for any alternative ingredients like dark choc bits and macadamias. The full recipe is on my blog! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PS - I would suggest adjusting the sugar quantities to your own tastes if you prefer cookies to be less sweet! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
