Preheat the oven and prepare a mini muffin tin: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spread a small amount olive oil around the insides of each well of a non-stick mini muffin tin.

Blend the ingredients: Put all of the ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth. You may need to use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender so that everything gets blended well. At this point, you can cover the batter and store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Before baking, let the chilled batter come to room temperature and give it a whisk. Pour into the muffin tin and proceed with the recipe.Simply Recipes / Mihaela Kozaric SebrekSimply Recipes / Mihaela Kozaric Sebrek
