Healthy Fudgy Spinach Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup oats flour from rolled oats or whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar or raw sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 large handfuls of spinach, cleaned
  • 200 grams coconut yogurt or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 ripe spotty bananas
  • 6 tablespoons of coconut water or milk
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and line a mini muffin tray with 24 muffin cups.

  2. In a small bowl, add chia seeds and coconut water, mix well, and let it sit for 10 minutes to form a chia egg.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients and 1/4 cup chocolate chips.

  4. In a blender or mixer, add bananas, yogurt, spinach, and blend until smooth. Add the chia eggs and blend for a few seconds until combined.

  5. Pour this mixture onto the dry ingredients and gently mix everything using a spatula until combined.

  6. Fill the muffin cups until 3/4 full, sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top, and bake for 14-16 minutes or until done.

  7. Remove to a cooling rack to cool and store in an airtight container. Keeps well in the fridge for weeks.

Notes

  1. You can choose to use regular muffin cups instead of mini muffins; just keep an eye on the baking time.

  2. You can even use a flax egg replacer instead of chia eggs.
