Spinach Muffins

This is a family favorite. This is a double batch and will make 23 to 24 muffins.

Thaw one block of frozen, chopped spinach. I do not drain, and I include the liquid in the recipe.

2 cups mashed bananas (about 5 to 6 medium)

2 tsp baking soda

4 large eggs

1/2 cup butter

1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed

3 cups flour

3 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

2 tsp vanilla (optional)

1 cup chocolate chips

In a small bowl, stir mashed bananas and baking soda together. Set aside.

Blast the eggs and thawed spinach in the blender until smooth. Set aside.

Cream butter and sugar in large mixing bowl. Add egg and spinach mixture, as well as the bananas.

Add dry ingredients and chocolate chips. Stir to moisten. Spoon into prepared muffin pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

This recipe is written with a reduced sugar and salt version. I don't recommend reducing it further.

I use the blocks of frozen chopped spinach from Superstore. Half of one block is enough for one batch of muffins. Thaw it. Liquid can be added to batter, too.
