Delicious not-so-sweet spinach muffins the kids will love! Serve warm with butter or cheese spread.
Ingredients
- 3 cups self-rising flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 cup flax seeds (Optional)
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 apple, peeled and cut into large chunks
- 2/3 cup milk
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 muffin tins or line with paper liners.
Step 2
Combine flour, baking soda, and flax seeds in a bowl; make a well in the center.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Pour the spinach puree into the well of the flour mixture and mix well. Scoop batter into the prepared muffin tins.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes.
Cook’s Notes:
For a much healthier option, substitute the self-rising flour with 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Use coconut oil instead of canola oil. Add 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/3 cup peanut butter to the blender mixture. These substitutes make the muffins a great option for meals on the go.
