Savory Spinach Muffins – vegan
I have a hard time getting up in the morning during the week. I stay in bed until I absolutely have to get up so that I won’t be late for work. So I usually have 30 minutes between the time I get out my bed and the time I leave the house. After taking a shower and getting dressed, it’s time to leave. So I pack all my meals except for my dinner and go to work. It’s funny but I’m usually not hungry at all until I leave the house. But once I start driving I’m starving! So the most important thing about my breakfast is that it has to be something I can eat with hands. I’m really trying to avoid starting my day with sugary food, so I thought savory muffins would be a perfect breakfast option for me. I noticed I had lots of spinach (I just bought a bag not realizing we had already had two bags) and I decided to put lots of spinach into the muffins. They turned out to be beautiful bright green color. I also added corn and chopped sun dried tomatoes.
Savory Spinach Muffins (makes 12 muffins)
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
2/3 teaspoon salt
a pinch freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons sugar
9oz bag of spinach leaves (blanched and patted dry)
1 cup soymilk
1/4 unsweetened apple sauce
1/4 cup canola oil
1/3 – 1/2 can corn
sun dried tomatoes (chopped)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Make a well in the center. In a small bowl, stir together spinach and soy milk, and puree the spinach using a hand blender. Stir in apple sauce and oil. Pour all at once into the well in the flour mixture. Mix quickly and lightly with a fork until moistened. Fold in corn and sun dried tomatoes. The batter will be lumpy. Pour the batter into paper lined muffin pan cups.Bake for about 25 minutes.
サンドライトマト入りほうれん草マフィン
朝起きるのはいつも苦手。
目は覚めていてもできるだけぎりぎりまでベッドから出たくないのです、特に冬は。。。（笑）。
なので、起きてからうちを出るまでは大体いつも３０分。
シャワーを浴びて、着替えたら、もう出かける時間。
ということもあって、仕事へはたいてい、朝食、ランチ、そして、スナックを持って行きます。
面白いことに、家を出るまでは全然おなかがすかないのに、車に乗る途端急激になにかが食べたくなるのはどうしてでしょう。
朝食は車の中で食べることになるので、基本的に手で食べられるものが中心。
しかも、できるだけ甘いものは避けたいというのが本音。
で、甘くないマフィン、作ってみました～！
しかも、ほうれん草たっぷり、他にも、サンドライトマト、コーンもたっぷり入れて、ヘルシー満足感アリな朝食マフィンとなりました。
ちなみに、卵、牛乳が入らないヴィーガンマフィンです。
