Chocolate Spinach Muffins: An Incredible 7-Ingredient Recipe


  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 13 minute

Ingredients

– 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
– 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or a sugar substitute)
– 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
– 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
– 1 large egg


Instructions

Creating delicious Chocolate Spinach Muffins can be a fun experience, especially if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a muffin tin with paper liners or greasing it lightly.

2. Blend Spinach: In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped spinach and milk. Blend until smooth.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the blended spinach mixture, vegetable oil, and egg until fully combined.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar. Stir well to ensure no lumps remain.

5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are some small lumps.

6. Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 of the way full.

7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

By following these steps, you’ll create rich and moist Chocolate Spinach Muffins that everyone will rave about!
