Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1 very ripe large banana
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp flax meal
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup avocado oil
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the muffins.
  2. Prepare the muffin pan: Grease your mini muffin pan well with olive oil spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  3. Make the batter: Add all the ingredients into a blender and blend until you achieve a somewhat smooth batter. It will be thick but well combined.
  4. Portion the batter: Using a tablespoon, scoop the batter into each muffin cup. About 1 to 1.5 tablespoons per muffin ensures even-sized mini muffins.
  5. Bake the muffins: Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake at 350°F for 12 to 13 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and store: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool completely before removing them from the pan. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  7. Serve: Enjoy these muffins as a healthy snack or quick breakfast option as needed.

Notes

  • Substitute avocado oil with other mild oils such as olive oil or coconut oil if desired.
  • Ensure the banana is very ripe for optimal sweetness and moisture in the muffins.
  • You can use a regular-sized muffin pan, but baking time will need to be adjusted accordingly.
  • These muffins keep well refrigerated for up to one week and can be reheated slightly before serving.
  • Use rolled oats rather than instant or quick oats for better texture.
