Kid-Friendly Spinach Muffins

Written By Loren Hardy

Looking to add more nutrients to your kids foods? I tried these out with Ayla last week and they were a big hit! I also snuck in a few mini chocolate chips which definitely sweetened the deal, but with or without, they are a great choice for an on-the-go snack, quick breakfast, and even freezable for back-ups on those busy days.

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup milk

  • 1/2 cup butter melted

  • 1/2 cup honey

  • 4 cups baby spinach packed

  • 1 large banana ripe

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 cups flour

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  • 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.

Enjoy!!!
