“Popeye Spinach Muffin Recipe”
I made these in April after I found the recipe at thegreenforks.com.
This recipe uses fresh spinach to color the muffins. I substituted soy milk, which was what I had in the house, made the texture and density of the muffins really yummy. The secret to the success of this spinach muffin recipe is the added banana and vanilla.

Whisk together dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Put the oil, milk, and spinach in a blender on pulse and puree. (I had some ripe bananas) Add banana mashed or cut up and vanilla; whiz to mix.
Pour the blended mix into dry mixture slowly, then stir together with a rubber spatula.
Scoop batter into each lined muffin tin – 2/3s full. Bake 18-20 minutes.
