Note to self: when baking, always wear an apron. Because you are clumsy and will inevitably splatter green batter all over one of your favorite white shirts.
Getting a toddler to eat is so easy. If you're serving them carbs and fruit that is. Veggies on the other hand can be a bit more tricky. So you have to be a little tricky sometimes to get them to eat their greens without them realizing it.
My little Peach loves bananas and muffins. So this recipe is essentially a banana muffin recipe, only it's full of spinach and made without any dairy.
I like to make a large batch and keep them in the freezer. Then in the morning I just nuke one or two in the microwave and breakfast is served.
Ingredients
1 cup flour2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup non dairy milk (I use soy)
6 oz fresh spinach
2 ripe bananas
2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
Combine dry ingredients.Place applesauce, milk, and spinach in a blender and blend on high for 30 seconds. Add in spinach, bananas and vanilla and blend on low another 30 seconds.
Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix by hand until thoroughly combined.
Pour into muffin tin (makes about 16) and bake at 350 for 18 minutes.
Allow to cool completely on a rack then store in an airtight container.
Blessings,
the Crunchy Peach
