Description

Delicious bite sized chocolate mini muffins packed with hidden spinach! Brilliant as a snack for kids or to add to lunchboxes.


Ingredients

  • 70g fresh spinach 
  • 1 banana
  • 1 egg
  • 40g melted butter
  • 50g plain yogurt 
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 110g plain flour
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 25g chocolate chips 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180c fan.
  2. Add the spinach, banana, egg, melted butter, yogurt, honey and vanilla to a blender and blitz until smooth.
  3. Add the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder and blend again.
  4. Pour the mixture directly into the mini muffin tray. If you are using a silicone tray there is no need to grease it. However if you are using a metal one you will need to grease with oil or butter to stop the muffins from sticking.
  5. Top with the chocolate chips and bake for 14 minutes.
  6. Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before removing from the tray.
