Prep time:  5 mins

Serves: 12 muffins

If you struggle to get your greens in, how about making some muffins? These vegan & gluten-free Spinach Muffins are packed with nutritious spinach you can't even taste.

INGREDIENTS

• Non-stick spray or muffin liners
• 2¼ cups all purpose gluten-free flour*
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 4 cups spinach, tightly packed
• ⅔ cup coconut sugar
• ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
• ¼ cup applesauce
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 medium banana, mashed

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffins liners or spray with non-stick spray.
2. In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Whisk to combine.
3. In a blender, add spinach, sugar, milk, oil, applesauce, vanilla and vinegar. Blend until completely smooth and there are no spinach chunks.
4. Add spinach mixture and mashed banana to the flour mixture. Whisk until all ingredients are combined. Pour batter evenly into each muffin cup, about ¾ full.
5. Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F. Bake for an additional 25-27 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in a muffin comes out clean. Remove the muffins and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

NOTES
*All gluten-free flour blends are made differently. I've only tested this recipe with Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Flour, so I can't say how other blends will work.
