Gluten Free Spinach Banana Muffins with Greek Yogurt
These Spinach Banana Muffins are made with wholesome ingredients and a great way to get veggies and protein into little mouths and picky eaters. Made with fiber-rich oat flour, spinach, greek yogurt and bananas, these spinach and banana muffins are mostly made in a blender and lightly sweetened with maple syrup.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups oat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips, I prefer mini chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup plain greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup olive oil or canola oil
- 2 cups spinach
- 2 medium bananas, the riper the better
- ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
- In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients (flour through salt; omit the chocolate chips for now).
- In a high speed blender or food processor, combine the wet ingredients (greek yogurt, oil, spinach, bananas, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract). Blend until it reaches a uniform consistency and the spinach leaves are fully incorporated.
- Combine the wet mixture from the food processor with the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Gently mix, adding in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop the batter evenly into a muffin tin and top with extra chocolate chips if desired and a pinch of sea salt.
- Bake for 20-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean (Mine were perfect at 20 minutes).
Notes
- Since oat flour is light and airy, take care not to overmix the batter.
- Riper bananas will lead to more natural sweetness when baking.
- Storage: These can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days, or in the fridge for up to 6 days. They freeze really well in stasher bags or freezer ziplock bags for up to 3 months!
