Spinach cheddar muffins

Found this recipe and tried it. Tasty! A nice savoury muffin, delicious with butter, cheese or jam.

1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup of firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup yogurt
1 egg
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
3/4 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/3 cup chopped green onion/scallions
1 cup cooked spinach, well-drained
3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar


Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. In a large bowl, beat together milk, yogurt, brown sugar, egg, and oil until well blended. In medium-sized bowl, sift together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and thyme. Gradually add flour mixture to yogurt mix until well blended. Fold in green onion, spinach, and cheddar.

Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each cup three-quarters full. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and let cool on a wire rack at least 5 minutes more before serving. Makes about 12 muffins.
