Ingredients
Scale
- 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 your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your muffin tin by spraying it with cooking spray or using well-greased silicone muffin cups.
- Combine in a blender the milk, baby spinach, ripe banana, honey, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Blend until completely smooth.
- Whisk together all the dry ingredients in a separate bowl: flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Pour the blended spinach mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients or add the dry ingredients to the blender. Gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix—lumps are okay!
- Scoop the batter into your prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 17–20 minutes. The muffins should spring back when touched on top, and they won’t be browned.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a cooling rack. If using silicone muffin cups, take them out to prevent sweating.
Notes
Consider adding nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
