Description

Packed with wholesome ingredients like spinach, banana, oats, and Greek yogurt, they blend up quickly and bake into soft, flavorful mini muffins. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup and suitable for a healthy snack or breakfast, these muffins make getting greens and fiber into little ones’ diets effortless and enjoyable.


Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 very ripe large banana
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tbsp flax meal
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking.
  2. Prepare Muffin Pan: Grease a mini muffin pan with olive oil spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  3. Blend Ingredients: Add all the listed ingredients (spinach, banana, egg, flax meal, Greek yogurt, avocado oil, maple syrup, rolled oats, vanilla extract, baking soda, and baking powder) to a blender. Blend until you achieve a somewhat smooth batter, ensuring the spinach and oats are well combined.
  4. Fill Muffin Pan: Using a tablespoon or about 1.5 tablespoons, scoop the batter into each mini muffin cup evenly.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 13 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  6. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool completely before handling.
  7. Store: Store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve as needed for a healthy snack or breakfast.

Notes

  • You can substitute rolled oats with oat flour for a smoother texture.
  • The ripe banana provides natural sweetness, so adjust maple syrup to taste if needed.
  • Mini muffins are toddler-friendly in size and easy to hold.
  • Make sure not to overblend; some texture from oats is desirable.
  • These muffins freeze well for up to 3 months—just thaw before serving.
  • Use fresh spinach for best flavor and nutrition.
