How to Make Spinach Banana Muffins

As I mentioned above, I prepared the batter for these muffins in a blender! Since these muffins have oats, spinach, and banana, it’s easiest to use a blender instead of mixing everything by hand.

I recommend using a large, high-powered one, like a Vitamix, but this recipe should work in any blender.

To make a smooth batter, you will want to put the liquid ingredients on the bottom. Here’s how you should layer the ingredients in the blender:

• Almond milk
• Maple syrup
• Eggs
• Greek yogurt
• Vanilla extract
• Banana
• Spinach
• Gluten free rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt

Once you have everything in the there, blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. The batter should resemble a green smoothie. Pour the batter into a greased muffin tin, and pop them in the oven!

Ingredient Substitutions for Spinach Banana Muffins

If you don’t have one of the ingredients on hand, or if you or someone in your family has an allergy, you can make some substitutions.

• Almond milk: substitute cow’s, soy, coconut, cashew, or any plant-based milk.
• Eggs: you can likely make these with “flax eggs” instead. Mix two tablespoons of ground flaxseed with six tablespoons of water, and set aside the mixture until it thickens. Then add it to the blender with everything else.
• Maple syrup: you can use honey, agave, applesauce, or regular sugar in place of the maple syrup.

You can serve these Spinach Banana Muffins at room temp, chilled, or warmed up in the oven or microwave. Store them in a sealed container at room temp or in the fridge (for 5-7 days), or in the freezer.

They taste great with a slather of peanut butter and/or jam. If you want a little extra sweetness, add some chocolate chips to the batter!
