Go Green With These Healthy Muffins
By Candes and Poet Gentry
Named after my favorite drink, we decided to name them Green Machine Muffins. For my ninth birthday, I shared them with my friends and they were a hit so we made them again for my 10th birth- day instead of cake.

In kindergarten, my classmate Hugh brought green muffins to share on St. Patrick’s Day. At first they didn’t look so good, but after I tried them I was amazed by how delicious they were. I asked my mom to get the recipe so that we could try to recreate them. We modified the recipe to make them a little healthier.
GREEN MACHINE MUFFINS
If you’re looking for a healthy snack, I hope you will try them and enjoy them as much as I do.
Ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat flour or
gluten free flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 large egg
3/4 cup pure maple syrup
3/4 cup non-dairy milk
1/4 cup unrefined coconut oil
or grapeseed oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
6 oz fresh baby spinach 2 ripe bananas, mashed
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line standard 12-cup muffin tin with
unbleached parchment liners. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a blender, add egg, maple syrup, milk, oil, vanilla, spinach and bananas and blend until pureed and smooth. Add spinach mixture to the flour mixture and stir until combined.
Scoop batter into prepared muffin tin and bake 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Store at room tem- perature for up to 3 days or freeze for a quick healthy snack.
Makes 24 muffins. You can also cook in small loaf pans, increasing baking time to 45 minutes.
