Go green and eat clean this St. Patrick’s Day with my gluten-free blender muffins! Now, I know the sound of spinach or kale in bread may sound odd, but I’m sneaky and get all excited when my kids eat greens and don’t even know it. The kale and spinach go completely undetected and these yummies just taste like great green-looking banana muffins.
While most people may pair muffins with guilt, the secret to skinny snacks is in your flour and sugar choices. Indulge by baking with alternate flours; grab a few of my faves here!
The best part is you can get festive and make muffin memories for St. Patrick’s Day. I like adding just a smidge of green coloring for drama but you can totally omit if you’d rather keep things natural. And finally, did I mention how easy it is to add all these ingredients at once to a blender without dirtying several bowls? You’re welcome. If your heart (and stomach) scream for more muffins, try baking my Almond Blueberry or Lemon Muffins.
