I've been trying to get my family to eat more veggies so I put together this muffin recipe. My hubby said 'It's good, moist, and you don't even taste the spinach.' Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • cooking spray

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup wheat germ

  • ¾ cup white sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1 cup chopped frozen spinach, thawed

  • 1 over-ripe banana, mashed

  • ½ cup low-fat milk

  • ½ cup applesauce

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper cups.

  2. Combine flour, wheat germ, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl.

  3. Mix spinach, banana, milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract together in a medium bowl. Add to the flour mixture and stir until batter is moist. Spoon batter into the muffin cups.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until golden on top, about 20 minutes. Remove and cool in the tin on a wire rack.

Cook's Note:

If you don't have wheat germ, just add another 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour.
