Spinach Muffins

A friend of mine posted this recipe [found here] on Facebook, so I decided to make it that day.  And they were deeeee-licious!  Will scarfed them down.  Brad scarfed them down.  And I ate a few too.  I'm making the second batch now and can't wait!

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup whole-wheat flour

3/4 cup sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup canola oil [I used coconut oil]

3/4 cup milk

1 [6 ounce] bag spinach

1/2 cup mashed banana [the website says about 2 bananas, but it's been closer to just 1 for me]

2 teaspoons vanilla

With this second batch, I added some pecan chips to half of them for the adults :)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line cupcake pans with paper liners [the first batch I made, it made18 cupcakes...this second batch I only got 14].

2. Whisk together dry ingredients in a large bowl.

3. In a blender, combine oil, milk, and spinach and blend on high for about 30 seconds [or until pureed].  Add banana and vanilla and blend on low until mixed in.

4. Pour pureed mixture into dry mixture and fold with a plastic spatula until all blended.

5. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
