Sweet Spinach Muffins Recipes

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.

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.

SPINACH CHEDDAR MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 12 cup muffin cups.
• Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a mixing bowl.
• Stir the melted butter, egg, milk, spinach, and Cheddar cheese together in a large mixing bowl until evenly blended. Slowly stir in the flour mixture to form a batter. Spoon about 2 tablespoons into each muffin cup.
• Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 35 minutes.

• 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.

NOT-SO-SWEET SPINACH MUFFINS
