Ingredients

6 oz. fresh baby spinach
4 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted
3/4 cup low-fat milk
1/3 cup honey
2 small ripe bananas
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups whole wheat white flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line muffin pans with paper liners; set aside.
In blender, puree the spinach, melted butter, milk, honey, bananas, egg, and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to the wet ingredients in the blender and pulse just 2 to 3 times until JUST blended (some dry ingredients may still be visible). Do NOT overmix.

Remove muffins immediately from pan to wire rack to cool completely before eating.
