SWEET SPINACH MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F, and spray your muffin tin with cooking spray or use silicone muffin cups sprayed with cooking spray.
• To a blender add, milk, raw spinach, banana, honey, egg, vanilla, and melted butter. Blend until completely pureed.
• Combine all dry ingredients.
• You can either add the dry ingredients into the blender with the spinach mixture, or pour the spinach mixture into the dry ingredient bowl. Fold the spinach mixture and dry ingredients together gently until just combined. (Do not over-mix.)
• Scoop the batter into the muffin pan, and bake for 17-20 minutes, or until the muffins bounce back when you touch the top. They should not be browning.
• Remove from the oven and cool on a cooling rack. If you use silicone muffin cups, remove from the cups and place on cooling rack to prevent sweating.

SWEET SPINACH MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper cups.
• Combine flour, wheat germ, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
• Mix spinach, banana, milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract together in a medium bowl. Add to the flour mixture and stir until batter is moist. Spoon batter into the muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden on top, about 20 minutes. Remove and cool in the tin on a wire rack.

SWEET SPINACH MUFFINS WITH BANANA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a standard-size muffin tin well with nonstick spray.
• Place all ingredients into a blender except the flour and chocolate chips, if using.
• Blend until very smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowls as needed. You want the greens to be very finely blended in so the batter is green, as if you were making a smoothie.
• Pulse in the flour just to combine, or stir it in gently.
• Pour batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 cup full. Sprinkle with chocolate chips if using.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes or until firm to the touch and lightly browned around the edges. (You can also check to see if a cake tester inserted into the center comes out cleanly.)
• Remove from the oven and use a paring knife, if needed, to transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• Serve slightly warm, at room temp, or chilled.

CHOCOLATE-SPINACH MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Blend applesauce, sour cream, melted chocolate, egg white, vanilla and spinach in blender until smooth.
• Combine dry ingredients in medium bowl. Add applesauce mixture; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. (A few lumps can remain.)
• Spoon into 12 muffin pan cups sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
• Bake 18 to 20 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool 10 min. Remove muffins from pan to wire rack; cool completely.

NOT-SO-SWEET SPINACH MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 muffin tins or line with paper liners.
• Combine flour, baking soda, and flax seeds in a bowl; make a well in the center.
• Place spinach, applesauce, avocado, apple, milk, apple, sugar, canola oil, eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a blender or food processor; puree until smooth.
• Pour the spinach puree into the well of the flour mixture and mix well. Scoop batter into the prepared muffin tins.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes.
