These cakes ROCK!!! They are full of vitamins and protein plus they are naturally gluten free – need I say more? I love making these for breakfast or a late afternoon snack.

Here we go :)

What You Need

  • 12 ounces  – Frozen Spinach ( this is after you defrost and drained/squeezed well)
  • 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 3/4 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1 clove garlic, minced well
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder

What To Do

Preheat Oven at 400

Mix all ingredients in a medium size bowl  ( Mix Well) – except for 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese

Divide the mixture into 6 muffin pan cups ( make sure the cups are greased)

Bake for about 15 – 20 minutes  – They should look like

Wait 5 minutes then pop out those puppies – sprinkle on the rest of the cheese and enjoy!

You can freeze these cakes – I heat them in the over at 250 :)

Made these last night (following your recipe exactly) for a side with our supper. However, I couldn’t wait the five minutes before taking one out of the pan to try. So yummy!! Husband loved them and said they tasted like a baked spinach dip. My five year old son loved them also and asked for seconds. I think I can make anything look like a cupcake, and he will eat it. I will not be ashamed of tricking him into eating his veggies ;) Thanks for this recipe; it’s a keeper!

I saw this recipe last week. I am not a big spinach fan but my husband is so I decided to make them. They were so delicious. We both loved the recipe. He said it was his favorite spinach side dish. Cant wait to make them again! Thanks for sharing.
