Melted butter, on the other hand, naturally solidifies when the muffins cool. As a result they have a slightly denser texture than muffins made with oil. And of course the buttery flavour is more dominant than oil, which is desirable for some flavours (e.g. Butter Pecan) but not all.

What makes muffins light and fluffy?

First, if you see baking powder in a recipe, you're on the right track to fluffiness. “Baking powder tends to cause lift, as opposed to soda which tends to cause spread,” said Barrett. (You'll also spy baking soda in recipes with chocolate, buttermilk or cocoa, but that's a chemical-balancing thing.)

How do you get moisture back in muffins?

One of the easiest ways to revive stale muffins is to warm them in a hot oven . First, spray them with water or pat them with a damp paper towel. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to around 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Wrap each muffin in aluminum foil and reheat the whole batch for up to 10 minutes.

How to get domed muffins?

When I was researching muffin recipes for #weeknightbakingbook, I discovered that muffins dome really well when first baked at a high temperature like 425 (F) . Doing so encourages the baking powder in the batter to react faster, causing the muffins to rise more quickly in the oven.

Recipe: Savoury Pumpkin, Spinach and Feta Muffins (2024)

December and January are probably my two favourite months of the whole year - but they seem to whizz by in a flash!

They're the most social months of the year with kids off school (at least in Australia), Christmas and New Year celebrations, summer barbeques and get togethers and time off work to enjoy.

With the month whizzing by so fast, I thought I'd share a make ahead recipe that will help you get through the busy days ahead. Whether you're heading back to work or the kids are going back to school, these savoury muffins are the perfect lunch option and an easy way to get extra veggies in (perfect for Mums looking for ideas for how to get kids to eat more vegetables!)

There's one problem though... they don't seem to last very long.

You see, I first made these for myself - only to have my Dad and Jesse spot them as they were baking away in the oven and they then subsequently nagged me until I gave them one to try.

I thought this was definitely going to be a recipe they turned their noses up at. They're filled with pumpkin, spinach and zucchini and usually vegetable filled recipes are the ones they're most skeptical about.

I relented and shared my beloved muffins only to hear my Dad call from upstairs...

"Hey Kristy!"

".... yeah?" (let's be honest, I was expecting criticism...)

Savoury Pumpkin Spinach and Feta Muffins Recipe

Perfect for back to school or a quick on the go lunch/lunchbox addition, these Savoury Pumpkin Spinach and Feta Muffins are healthy, gluten free and so easy to make!

prep time: 10 minscook time: 30 minstotal time: 40 mins

ingredients:

~2 1/4 cups (350g) diced butternut squash/pumpkin
~125g frozen chopped spinach or 3 cups chopped fresh spinach
1 small zucchini, grated
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup (100g) crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup (50g) grated parmesan cheese or cheddar/tasty cheese
2 cups (240g) gluten free plain flour
4 tsp baking powder
Optional: Salt and pepper, to taste

instructions

Cook your pumpkin cubes by either roasting in the oven until soft and caramelised, steaming until soft or microwaving for 4-5 minutes or until soft and cooked through.
Place your frozen or chopped spinach in a bowl and cover with your hot cooked pumpkin.
Cover with cling wrap and leave to sit whilst your oven preheats and you prepare your other ingredients.
Preheat your oven to 180C/355F
Grease a muffin tray or line with paper liners and set aside.
Combine your eggs and milk and mix in your pumpkin, spinach, zucchini and cheeses. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
Mix in your flour and baking powder, mixing until just combined.
Scoop your muffin batter into your prepared muffin tin, filling all the way to the top (as the batter is thick it won't spill out).
Bake your muffins for 20-30 minutes or until cooked through (a skewer inserted into the middle will remove clean and they'll feel solid when touched on the top) and golden on top.
Allow to cool before removing your muffins from their tins and enjoying.
These muffins can be eaten hot, room temperature or chilled depending on your preference and can be kept in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days. These muffins also freeze well and can be frozen in airtight ziplock bags and defrosted to eat whenever you're ready.
