Spinach & Feta Muffins

Sharing is caring!

A keto savoury muffin made with spinach and feta muffins.  Made with coconut flour they are just 3g net carbs each. These keto muffins are a delicious savoury bite for breakfast on the go or just a savoury snack.

Spinach and feta are a great flavour combination and are the basis of the  Greek dish Spanakopita.     This muffin is a moist, yet firm alternative that make you almost forget about pastry!

Grated zucchini was added to the spinach and feta muffin mixture to keep it moist and firm especially because I was using coconut flour.  As I stirred the final ingredients together I looked at the batter and knew it needed a little something else.   Luckily, I had a sole zucchini in the bottom of the vegetable drawer.   A quick grate and a stir into the mixture and I had the consistency that I wanted.

As the spinach and feta muffins baked they rose splendidly and smelt delicious.  Once out of the oven it seemed rude not to try a warm one.  I was very happy with the flavour combinations.   When they cooled down I munched another and the flavours are better.   Bake a batch, try one warm, try another cold and see what you prefer!  They could be warmed up in the oven or even zapped in the microwave.
