Blender Double Chocolate Spinach Muffins

very ripe medium bananas

eggs

maple syrup (or sub honey)

vanilla

almond flour

cacao powder (or sub unsweetened cocoa powder)

½ cup rolled oats, gluten free

hemp hearts (or sub chia seeds)

organic spinach

baking soda

salt

chocolate

For topping:

Fancy Maldon sea salt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with muffin liners and spray the inside of the liners with nonstick cooking spray.

Add the bananas, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla to a high powered blender and blend until completely smooth. Next add in the almond flour, cacao powder, oats, hemp hearts, spinach, baking soda and salt; blend until smooth. The batter may be thick, so you might have to use a spatula to push the ingredients down, and blend again. Once the batter is smooth, stir in ⅓ cup chocolate chips (do not blend).

Scoop or pour batter into prepared muffin liners. Top with a few chocolate chips on each muffin. Bake for 22-27 mins or until the tester comes out clean. When they come out of the oven, sprinkle with a little sea salt. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy! Makes 12 muffins. I love serving these warm with a dollop of nut butter on top.

T oil

c white whole wheat flour

tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Add egg and stir to lightly whisk. Add sugar, vanilla, oil and Greek yogurt and stir to combine.

In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, sea salt and cocoa powder and stir to combine. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir to fold in. Stir in the chocolate chips, saving some or adding extra in for topping.

Line a 12 muffin pan with muffin liners and spoon batter into each. Add chocolate chips to the tops of each muffin if desired.

Bake for about 18-22 minutes or until you can put a toothpick in the center and it comes up clean.

Cool for several minutes before serving.

Tastes more like a banana smoothie than a muffin. 😄 Not my favorite, but a nice sweet treat that's a little healthy. I did mini muffins (silicone pan) and it took 18 minutes to cook. The regular size muffins (silicone liners, not filled very full) took a few minutes more.

A hit with my whole family! These are delicious!

These are sooo good and you'd never know they had spinach in them. They taste like double chocolate banana bread. Would definitely make again! I made two dozen in a regular muffin tin and cooked them for 19 minutes. They came out perfect.

Very delicious and moist muffin. Would never guess there was spinach in these. I will be making these again! (I used all purpose flour, because it was what I had on hand)

Omg these were amazing! I tried the recipe as is and it was fantastic. Definitely going to try some of these changes some people suggested just to see what I like best, but this was fantastic. I also had to add time for silicone muffin tins.

These are so good! I use Splenda instead of sugar and applesauce instead of oil, and they come out great! No one can believe they have spinach in them! Thanks for the recipe.
