Muffins...Mediterranean Style!

I love Mediterranean flavors, especially the combination of feta, tomatoes and basil. It's perfect on Bruschetta, Crostini and just about any baked goods, so why not in a muffin right? I've just recently discovered all the new flavored Feta from the Athenos brand. I used the Garlic and Herb in these but I'm sure the Basil and Tomato would be great too! I'm SO glad I made these cuz they're just the perfect savory treat!

Ingredients: (6 muffins)


1 c whole wheat flour
1/2 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
