14 Aug Spinach and cheese polenta muffins
Who said ‘good for you’ can’t also be delicious? Spinach is a great source of iron, manganese and folate and cheese packs a healthy protein punch. And for those on a gluten-free diet, polenta is a great alternative to wheat-based products, as it’s made from ground cornmeal.
These spinach and cheese polenta muffins are a great vegetarian and nut-free option for residents with individual diet or nut allergies.
