A kid-friendly healthy breakfast or snack packed with hidden spinach! The whole family will love these delicious muffins!
I feel like there is a stigma that comes with being vegan. Weird looks, like the raising of an eyebrow from a carnivore! The carnivores in my life have a lot of fun with my vegan way of life, insinuating I am high maintenance. I’ll give it to them, it does sound like a lot of work. But it’s really not!
I’ve actually had mental wars with myself when posting vegan recipes, asking myself whether or not I should call it out as vegan because you can’t even tell! The non-vegans in my life have no idea they are eating vegan recipes unless I tell them. I don’t want those who are not vegan to miss out on the opportunity of a great recipe just because it’s ‘vegan!’
As a matter of fact, most people like it better the vegan way! When you are baking you can easily substitute oil with applesauce and eggs for vegan vanilla yogurt. If you are nervous about the outcome, start with a boxed cake mix. Super easy. You’ll never go back to making it according to the box. Seriously, try it! It’s so moist and delicious, it makes you want to slow down and enjoy it – it’s that good!
Don’t even look at a recipe like it’s ‘vegan.’ It’s just a recipe that happens to not call for any dairy. I am not 100% vegan. Let’s face it, I still enjoy ice cream every now and then, like this No Churn Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream.
I am not only drawn to vegan recipes for health reasons, but the outcome of whatever I am baking tastes SO much better. For example, an egg makes a cake more crumbly whereas vegan vanilla yogurt makes it more moist. It does the same thing for cookies and muffins. It’s an easy ingredient to get and keep on hand, so it’s an easy swap!

Tips for Making & Storing Vegan Hulk Spinach Banana Muffins
- You can substitute the yogurt with Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk.
- And you can substitute the oil with applesauce.
- You can use white flour or whole wheat flour.
- And you can substitute the sugar with honey for a healthier version.
- 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 particles of spinach. That’s okay!
