Day 35 : Savoury muffins with mushroom and corn bechamel sauce

Decided to experiment with the same spinach batter used for the crepes (on day 23) , but this time, make it into muffins!

Ingredients

1. 2 heaped tablespoons of flour

2. 2 heaped tablespoons of whole wheat flour (atta)

3. 1 large egg

4. 1/2 cup milk

5. Minch of nutmeg

6. 3 tbsp Parmesan cheese

7. 1 cup boiled spinach

8. 3/4 tsp baking powder

9. 50 g butter

Method :

1. Mix everything together in the blender till smooth. Consistency should be like cake batter.

2. Line the muffin moulds/baking tray and Pre heat oven (gas oven) to 260 centigrade

3. Pour batter into the muffin mould/ baking tray and put in the oven. After 10 minutes, reduce the heat to 230 and bake for another 30 minutes

4. Check if it’s done by piercing a skewer. It should come out dry. Let it cool for 2-3 minutes then scoop it out.

While it is in the oven, you can make the bechamel sauce
