Staying with my frugal ways I made some muffins from scratch this morning. I have made similar muffins before and my kids 4 and 7 loved them. B my youngest ate 2 normal sized muffins for lunch plus a mini muffin.
St. Patrick's Day muffins
This makes about 2 dozen normal sized muffins or in my case this morning 12 normal size muffins and 24 mini muffins
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup canola oil
3/4 cup milk
1 large/jumbo egg
8 oz. - 10 oz. frozen spinach thawed
1 very ripe banana ( used one I had in the freezer)
2 tsp imitation vanilla flavoring or vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees f and line muffin cups with paper(I also spray them with nonstick spray)
Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl set aside. In a blender put the egg,spinach, canola oil and milk combined till thoroughly mixed about 30 seconds add banana and vanilla combine till banana is pureed add the wet ingredients to the dry. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full. Bake 16 - 18 minutes for regular sized muffins till a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. FYI prior to baking my kids add 3 candy coated chocolates to the top or sprinkled with green sugar.
Enjoy! This recipe will be frozen and last my kids about 2 weeks. Left out they only make it about 3 days before they grow there own green in the form of mold. I freeze in zip top freezer bags for up to 6 months.
