Cheesy Spinach Vegan Muffins

As the cold weather arrives, all we want is more delicious and comfy food. And also is important for everybody have those delicious meals fast in our hands, ready to eat. And having these Smoky Bacon Spinach Muffins is one of my favorite ways to make some dinners in advance.

All I need to do is put some staple ingredients together, that always have in my kitchen: Half package of baby spinach, some flour, non dairy milk, and to give them a savory cheesy touch a 1/4 cup nutritional yeast. This time, I also added 3 stripes of vegan bacon to make them specials for this time of the year, plenty of holidays. So, this could be a shortcut to make any dinner a “special dinner”, pairing them with a delicious soup.

I love to make this recipe in batches of 12, to serve with a warm soup. They are so soft, savory, fluffy and full of nutrients. And the what I like the most: those 12 muffins could last at least for 2 dinners in a week (for a family of 4). But, these muffins are something so tasty, that is very hard do not want to eat them all.

I love Soup, and I love muffins, so bring them together in my dinner plate is always something special, don’t you think?

Try it, you’ll gonna fall in love with this couple!
