As the weather gets cooler, soups and stews are on my mind. As much as I enjoy a nice bowl of soup, it’s not a meal to me unless it’s accompanied by something else – a salad, bread, or as on recent soup nights, a savory muffin. When I first saw this recipe I wasn’t sure if the kids would eat these. My daughter doesn’t like feta and I thought the pepper might be too spicy for both kids. The original recipe called for a roasted jalapeno. Would you believe that the grocery store was out of jalapenos the day I did my grocery shopping?!! Poblano peppers are pretty mild, so I used one of those instead. These muffins smelled amazing while baking. And taste-wise? These were delicious! Between the roasted poblano, the feta cheese crumbles, zucchini and spice topping, these muffins were bursting with flavor. And yes, the kids ate these and liked them, roasted poblano peppers and all! These muffins accompanied Crockpot Potato, Cheddar and Ale Soup to make a delicious meal! I was able to enjoy the leftover muffins for breakfast and even froze some extras for another day!
