Popeye Muffins
Ingredients:
A friend sent me this recipe on my birthday (it's a good recipe for St Patrick's Day!) and we love it! We've made it about 1/2 a dozen times or so and my kiddos think it's great. The kids love that they are bright green and big and I love the moist consistency and the minimal sugar and the fact that it takes a whole bag of spinach! Awesome!

Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup coconut oil (I've used canola as well)
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 (6 ounce) bag fresh baby spinach
- ½ cup mashed banana (from about 1 to 2 bananas, I always use 2)
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line two 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners.
- Whisk together dry ingredients in a large bowl: flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a blender, place oil, milk, and spinach. Blend on high for about 30 seconds or until completely puréed. Add banana and vanilla; blend on low just to mix.
- Pour puréed mixture into dry mixture and fold together with a rubber spatula until completely combined.
- Fill muffin cups about ⅔ full and bake 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean
