Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
⅔ cup finely chopped onion
⅔ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
⅓ cup whole-wheat pastry flour
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1½ teaspoons chopped fresh oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1 teaspoon sugar
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup low-fat milk
⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 large egg, well beaten
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons chopped Kalamata olives

Instructions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook, stirring often, until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a mini-muffin pan with cooking spray.
Whisk whole-wheat pastry flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, oregano, sugar, garlic powder and salt in a medium bowl.
Stir milk, feta, egg, tomato paste and olives into the onion mixture. Make a well in the dry ingredients; add the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fill the prepared muffin cups two-thirds full.
Bake the muffins until lightly browned, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
