You can use any kind of cheese you want, to create a unique flavor that will excite your taste buds. Even better, make it with a different cheese every time to add variety and pizazz to your diet!

Here is everything you need for these divine, cheesy muffins.

Ingredients To Gather: 

• 1 cup finely chopped broccoli, lightly cooked, drained and cooled to room temperature
• ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• ½ cup quick cooking oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• ¼ cup chopped scallions (green onions)
• ½ cup coarsely grated reduced-fat cheese

Intructions To Follow: 

1. Position an oven rack in the center of your oven and preheat your oven to 400 F degrees.
2. Line a 6-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder and salt until well combined.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, olive oil, sugar, and mustard until well blended. Stir in the broccoli, scallions and ¼ cup of the cheese.
5. Add the egg broccoli mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just blended. (The batter will be very thick.)
6. Divide the batter equally among the 6 prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle tops with the remaining ¼ cup cheese.
7. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 18-22 minutes.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Transfer the muffins from the pan directly to the wire rack.
9. Serve warm or let cool completely.

This recipe requires 10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes of cooking time and makes six servings. What's great about it is that it's easy to customize.
