Banana Blueberry Spinach Muffins
from Jenny Sugar
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups rolled oats (or substitute 2 cups oat, white whole wheat, or spelt flour)
2 tablespoons flaxmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 ripe bananas
2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup pitted dates (12 medjool or 18 deglet)
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen (I used fresh)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with 12 cups or spray with a little oil.
- Add the oats to a high-speed blender and process to make a coarse oat flour. Don't process until very fine, as this will yield a gummy muffin texture.
- Pour the oat flour into a medium-sized bowl and add the flaxmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon and mix well. Set aside.
- Add the bananas, spinach, applesauce, vanilla, and dates to your blender and process until smooth.
- Pour the banana spinach mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Add two-thirds of the cup of blueberries to the batter and stir just enough to combine.
- Divide the batter into the 12 muffin cups and top with remaining blueberries.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Store uneaten muffins in an airtight container.
