The lazy person’s guide to spinach pie. These spinach feta brownies recipe will satisfy all your spanakopita cravings in a delicious and quick way!
Well as you might have guessed there is no chocolate in this recipe. It is a savory type of bar that is one of the most delicious and easy things I’ve ever made. Yes, THAT good. It’s got ALL the spanakopita vibes. My family devoured them in less than 15 minutes. I guess we need to double the batch next time.

ingredients:
The spinach, feta and mozzarella are the key players in this recipe. I roughly chopped the baby spinach, diced the scallions and chopped the dill. These are also the main characters in spanakopita. And lets not forget the feta. But here it shares the stage with mozzarella.

The flour can be substituted with almond flour, all purpose gluten free flour or oat flour, although I would add a little more oat flour than a cup. Next time I will make them with olive oil instead of butter just to try out the variance in taste and texture. The crusty brown top of these spinach feta brownies is one of the best parts of this bar. Make sure you sprinkle on that grated Parmesan cheese.

Spinach and Feta Brownies
Ingredients
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 4 scallions, diced
- 10 oz (285 g) baby spinach, rough chop
- 2 tbs dill, chopped
- 1 cup (125 g) all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup (240 g) milk, of choice
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup (56 g) butter, melted (or olive oil)
- 4 oz (120 g) shredded mozzarella
- 4 oz (120 g) feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tbs grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a medium size baking dish with olive oil. Mine was 10.5 x 7.5 inches.
- In a large, deep pan, heat 1 tsp oil on medium. Cook your scallions until they soften: 1 or 2 minutes. Add half the spinach and sauté until mostly wilted, season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove to a colander to drain and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess liquids. Add the remaining oil to your pan and repeat the process with the remaining spinach.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the milk, eggs, butter and mix. Lastly fold in the spinach mixture, dill, mozzarella and feta until just combined. Transfer to your baking dish and spread out evenly. Sprinkle top with grated Parmesan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until top turns golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes prior to slicing.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in your fridge up to 4 days. Reheat in a small countertop oven.
- To make this Gluten Free, use almond flour in place of the all purpose flour or Gluten Free All Purpose Flour.

Hi Gisela, that’s awesome! I’m so glad it was a winner!
Looks delicious! Can you use Bisquick instead of the flour and baking powder? Thanks ☺️
I havent tried it with Bisquick but it should work!

Have made these numerous times! Love them!
Thank you for the kind feedback Donna!
I don’t have the size pan suggest. I have a 9×13 pan. how can I adjust the measurements so it comes out perfectly?
thank you
Hi Theresa, you can use the large pan and the bars will be thinner. Also bake for a 5-10 minutes less
I’m addicted to this!
Same!!
This is one of my favorite recipes of all time! It’s so indulgent yet feels healthy…ish at the same time. Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. My boyfriend and I call it “cheese pie.” I add more mozzarella and more dill and sometimes some leeks too. Obsessed!!
Hi Eleanor – that’s awesome! I love leeks in this!
One of my absolute favorite recipes! I make GF and use an egg substitute! It comes out perfect each time!💕
Hi Dee, that’s awesome! Thanks for the kind feedback!
