Pumpkin, Spinach and Feta Lunchbox Muffins
We love savoury muffins, and these do not disappoint! You really can't go past pumpkin, spinach and feta together. We love these as is but especially sliced in half and topped with cheese, thinly shaved ham and relish. They make for a great afternoon tea snack too!
