Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (one single serve cup)
  • 1 large banana (preferably overripe)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh uncooked baby spinach
  • 1/4 cup organic maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cup oat flour
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
  • In a food processor, blend banana and baby spinach until the spinach is very well blended (like a smoothie).
  • Add maple syrup, olive oil, vanilla and salt to the food processor and blend well.
  • Add egg to food processor and pulse until well incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together (or mix well) the oat flour, flaxseed, baking soda and baking powder. 
  • Add the dry ingredients to the food processor bowl and blend until well mixed (but do not overblend).
  • Grease a muffin tin with coconut oil, or use reusable silicone baking cups. 
  • Pour about 2-3 tablespoon into each muffin tin round.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for about 17-20 minutes (check at 17 minutes to see if they are done by using the toothpick test. You can also lightly tap the top of the muffin to see if they are solid)
