Delicious chocolate muffins sneak in healthy servings of spinach, perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe bananas
  • 2 large handfuls baby spinach
  • 3 tablespoons milk (almond milk or regular)
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (full fat)
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅔ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Blend together the milk, ripe bananas, and spinach in a high-powered blender until mostly smooth.
  3. Transfer the blended mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the egg and lightly whisk until combined.
  4. Mix in the sugar, vanilla, oil, and Greek yogurt until well incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the white whole wheat flour, baking soda, sea salt, and cocoa powder.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  7. Fold in the dark chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.
  8. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners. Spoon the batter into each cup until filled about ¾ full, adding extra chocolate chips on top if you like.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool the muffins for several minutes before serving.

Notes

For an added health boost, consider adding chia seeds or flaxseeds to the batter.
