Caramelize onions, set aside. Sautee the mushrooms dry, then add oil for the final 5 minutes until they're dark and reduced. Add spinach, wilt it. Set aside to cool.
Mix all dry ingredients. Then, add all ingredients except for cheese. Mix until just combined.
Pour into a well-buttered muffin pan, 2/3 full. Sprinkle tops with cheese.

So, this week was muffin week at Earth House. Every morning, one or two people signed up to make muffins for the house. This morning was my morning. Always opting for the avant garde, I decided I wanted mushroom muffins. (Side note: always opting for pushing the envelope way too far, I decided to add 60% dark chocolate chunks to some. While not a bad taste per say, I did feel it was just distracting to the subtle savory flavors in the muffin. Not recommended.)
So I did my research, and what muffins they are!
Tune in next week for these!

of course you did. last week i ended up making banana chocolate sugar cookies because I ran out of butter so I used banana, then i realized i could not just have banana sugar cookies. delicious in an odd way, and better chilled, for some reason. cooking experiments are fun, and i love you.
