Ingredients
- 2 very ripe large bananas
- 3 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and moisture drained out 1 cup when still frozen
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup whole milk plain greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups white whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cups Mini Chocolate chips, divided Reserve 1/4 cup to sprinkle on top of muffins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F degrees. Line a 12-count muffin pan with muffin liners or spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- If using frozen spinach, thaw completely, then wrap in a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much extra moisture as possible.
- In a blender, add milk, spinach and bananas. Blend until completely smooth and no visible bits of spinach remain.
- In a medium bowl, add the maple syrup, yogurt, egg, peanut butter and vanilla. Pour in the spinach mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Add 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips and stir until just combined. Do not overmix the batter or you will have tough muffins.
- Evenly distribute the batter between the muffin cups. (I use an ice cream scoop for easy portioning). Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top of each muffin. Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F degrees. Keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue to bake for another 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- As soon as possible, remove muffins from the muffin pan and allow to cool on a cooling rack.
