Blender Spinach Muffins
Summer break is on the horizon and I couldn’t be more excited! We recently had a taste of an early Spring only to be followed by more snow and wet, cold weather. Only in Wisconsin! But trees are budding, the grass is turning green, and a countdown to the last day of school has begun!
We eat a lot more muffins in the summer than in the winter months. It’s nice to have them available when the kids think they are starving only a few minutes after they eat lunch! For that reason, I like to have Hulk Spinach Banana Muffins in the rotation. At least they are getting in some spinach! They are easy to make, takes me only a few minutes to whip them up! They keep nicely, too, so they will travel well to the pool or lake.
Some other snacks I like are Peanut Butter Cherio Bars, Monster Cookie Energy Balls, or No Bake Nutella S’mores Granola Bars!

Recipe Notes:
- Yogurt – You can substitute with milk if you’d like.
- Oil – You can substitute with applesauce.
- Flour – You can use white or wheat flour.
- Sugar – You can substitute with honey for a healthier version.
- Vegan – You can make these vegan by using vegan yogurt or almond/soy milk.
- Blender – You will have the prettiest results by using a Vitamix as your blender. If you don’t have one, a regular blender will work, you will just be able to see small pieces of spinach. But that’s okay!
- Mini-Chocolate Chips – Stir in mini-chocolate chips for fun!
- Freezer – These freeze well in a freezer safe bag.
