Spinach Banana Blender Muffins that are fluffy-soft in every bite and make a great healthy snack for kids and adults. Vegan, gluten-free, and fruit-sweetened with bananas and dates. These muffins can also easily be made oil-free by using applesauce or mashed avocado. Blueberries or chocolate chips also make a nice mix-in after blending.
How To MakeDiet Type: Plant-based
Shopping List
- 1 3/4 cups gluten-free oats
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 2 handfuls baby spinach
- 2 flax eggs (Note 1)
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/4 cup olive oil (or applesauce or mashed avocado)
- 1/4 cup flax meal
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 6 pitted medjool dates
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a muffin pan with liners, or use a silicon pan.
- Step 2: Place the oats in a blender and blend until the oats turn into a fine flour. Transfer the oat flour to a mixing bowl and add in the remaining dry ingredients: flax meal, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- Step 3: In the same blender, add the milk and spinach. Blend until it turns bright green and the spinach is all broken down. Add in the flax eggs, pitted dates, bananas, vanilla, and oil (or the applesauce or avocado option). Blend until smooth.
- Step 4: Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry mixing bowl and stir until no lumps remain. If adding a mix-in, fold it in now. Pour the batter evenly into the muffin tins. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are firm to the touch.
- Serve: Transfer the muffin pan to a cooling rack and wait until cooled to remove from the pan. Enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: To make 2 flax eggs, combine 2 tablespoons of flax meal with 5 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl. Refrigerate for 10 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened into a gel-like texture.
