Need a tip to get your kids to eat their greens? Make it a fun treat instead of a chore by blending it into Banana Shamrock Muffins, V, GF. Kids generally love bananas and muffins, and spinach is so mild-flavored and can be hidden in plain sight by baking it into these treats. What makes them fun is that they’re green! Make them for St. Patrick’s Day as a fun gimmicky breakfast or snack and then bring them back throughout the year reminding them how fun they were!
Banana Shamrock Muffins are moist, full of banana flavor, low in added sugar and fat, free of gluten, dairy, nuts, and have a touch of added fiber from the flax and the spinach. They make a perfect treat for toddlers who won't eat anything. And, they're freezer-friendly! So, you can make a dozen, freeze them and have them on hand for extra-busy days.
The green tinge is subtle once baked, but you truly cannot taste it! If you're going for super green muffins for fun, add in a bit of natural food coloring to pump up the green.
For a healthy topping, try mashing some green avocado with a squeeze of lemon juice and some maple syrup and smear it on top the muffin right before serving.
