Green Protein “Monster” Muffins

Raise your hand if you are a parent, always trying to “sneak” healthy ingredients into your kids food! It seems like it’s a constant battle trying to find snacks with nutritional value that children actually like. I used to make oat protein muffins for Bowen when he was just over a year old, and he LOVED them (I can’t actually remember why I stopped making them!) So I amended that recipe, and viola!

The best part about these muffins is that you literally throw everything into a blender, mix, and then pour into a muffin tin. Healthy ingredients, super simple process.. perfect for those of us with a million things going on!

Added Bonus- these muffins look like Frankenstein.. just in time for Halloween! These would be ideal for class Halloween parties- gluten free, dairy free and nut free for those with allergies!

Heres What you Need:

2 Ripe Bananas
2 Eggs
2 cups oats ( I used organic, old fashioned )
1 Cup Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Cinnamon
2 Tbsp honey
2 cups packed fresh spinach leaves
1 tsp vanilla
Mini Chocolate Chips ( I used Organic semi- sweet)

Method:

Preheat over to 400 F
Blend all ingredients in blender (except Chocolate chips!)
Grease muffin tin with coconut oil (or oil of choice)
Pour blende mixture into greased tin
Top with Chocolate chips ( Bowen loves to help with this part! If kids are involved they are much more likely to eat it!)
Bake for 10-12 Minutes
These also freeze wonderfully if you make a big batch!
