About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cup oats
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 banana
- 1 handful baby spinach
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- a pinch salt
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line or grease a muffin tin to prevent the muffins from sticking.
- 2In a blender, combine all the ingredients and blend until smooth. This may require stopping the blender and scraping down the sides a few times to ensure everything is well mixed.
- 3Pour the blended mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.
- 4For mini muffins, bake for 13-15 minutes. For regular-sized muffins, bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- 5Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- 6Once the muffins are cool, they are ready to serve. You can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze them for up to 2 months.
- 7To freeze, place the cooled muffins in a single layer in a freezer-safe bag or container. When you're ready to eat one, simply thaw it at room temperature or reheat it in the microwave.
- 8These muffins are a great make-ahead snack or breakfast option. They're perfect for toddlers and adults alike, and they're a wonderful way to get some extra spinach into your diet.
- 9Consider customizing the recipe by adding in other ingredients you like, such as nuts, seeds, or dried fruit. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly if you add any larger ingredients.
- 10If you want to make the muffins more indulgent, you could top them with a crumbly oat and brown sugar topping before baking. Simply mix together some rolled oats, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt, and sprinkle it over the muffins before putting them in the oven.
