Spinach, Broccoli, Cauliflower Cheese Muffins


These were a bit of an experiment but came out great! I adapted a recipe from Babyledweaning.com (found here: http://www.babyledweaning.com/blw-recipes/broccoli-and-cheese-muffins/) but added what I had lying around in the kitchen (quite a Ready, Steady, Cook moment!) 

For this recipe I used:
4 broccoli florets
4 cauliflower florets
Handful spinach
Around 250ml plain yoghurt 
60ml olive oil
1 large egg
Around 50g cheddar cheese 
Around 50g feta cheese
225g self-raising flour 
Butter to grease muffin tin 

Preheat oven to 190C. 
Boil broccoli and cauliflower until tender.
Mix yoghurt, oil & egg well together. Add broccoli, cauliflower and most of the spinach, roughly crumble in feta cheese and mix in grated cheddar. Use handheld food blender and pulse in short bursts until there are no large pieces of veg left. Chop up the remaining spinach into small pieces and stir in. Lastly stir in the flour and mix until lumpy!
Grease muffin tins with butter and divide the mixture evenly between the pan.
Put tray onto rack just below middle of oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden-brown and centres spring back when pressed. Let the muffins cool in the pans for 2-3 minutes before tipping out.

And voilà all done! 

I divided these into two batches - one to freeze and one ready to eat. Hopefully I will not scoff them all!
