Muffin Recipe — Spam®, Cheese, and Spinach Muffins

Made these on a whim for me and my boyfriend! They didn't last very long!

Ingredients

• 1 (12 ounce) can fully cooked luncheon meat (such as SPAM®), chopped
• 1 ½ cups whole wheat all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ⅓ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ⅓ teaspoon paprika
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted
• ½ cup chopped fresh spinach
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup chopped onion
• 5 basil leaves, chopped

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 12 muffin cups.
2. Heat a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir luncheon meat until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
3. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and paprika together in a bowl. Mix luncheon meat, milk, Cheddar cheese, butter, spinach, egg, onion, and basil together in a separate bowl; slowly stir into flour mixture just until batter is mixed. Pour batter into muffin cups until each is 3/4-full.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 33 minutes.
