For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the batter. Feel free to substitute other cheeses, such as Monterey Jack or Gruyere. If you don't have fresh spinach, frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry) can be used. These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin. (5 minutes)
02
StepHeat a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the chopped luncheon meat until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. This step enhances the flavor and texture of the spam. (8 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and paprika. (3 minutes)
04
StepIn a separate bowl, combine the browned luncheon meat, milk, Cheddar cheese, melted butter, chopped spinach, egg, chopped onion, and basil. (5 minutes)
05
StepGently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until the batter is combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins. (3 minutes)
06
StepPour the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. (3 minutes)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 33 minutes. (33 minutes)
08
StepLet the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
