Servings: 12 muffins

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

2 cups fresh spinach packed
2 ripe bananas mashed
2 eggs
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1.5 cups all-purpose flour or oat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease well.
Blend spinach with mashed bananas, eggs, honey, coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth and bright green.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
Pour the green wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined — do not overmix.
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Bake 18–20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container up to 4 days.

Notes

Add 1/2 cup chocolate chips or blueberries for extra kid appeal. Freeze extras for up to 3 months.
