Vegan Toddler Blender Muffins {With Hidden Spinach}

My little one loves these beautifully green mini vegan toddler muffins! They are colored green with a big dose of spinach, which ads a nutritious dose of health that you can't taste in the muffins. These are very gently sweetened with banana, but if your little one is acclimated to sweeter foods, I recommend adding a few tablespoons of sugar or maple syrup to the batter.

Ingredients

½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup spinach tightly packed
1 medium very ripe banana the spottier the better!
1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
¼ cup natural peanut butter
½ cup soymilk any variety
¼ cup apple sauce
¼ cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda

Optional Additions:

¼ cup chocolate chips
Vegan sprinkles

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F and line a muffin pan with 12 standard-size cupcake liners.
In a high-powered blender add the rolled oats and flour and blend on high until you have a fine flour-like powder.
Add the spinach, banana, ground flaxseeds, peanut butter, soymilk, apple sauce, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Blend on high until you have a smooth creamy green batter (there shouldn't be any chunks or green spinach flakes).
Add the baking powder and baking soda directly to the blender and mix quickly and briefly with a spoon until evenly incorporated. Do not over-mix.
Pour the green blender mixture into the flour mixture and stir with a spoon just until combined. Do not over-mix.
Using a spoon, add a dollop of batter to each spot in the muffin tin, splitting the dough evenly across all 12. These muffins will be half-sized so they will be perfect for little toddler hands and bellies.
Bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for 26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from oven and allow to cool before enjoying!

Notes

You can freeze these muffins for many months and pop them out into lunch boxes or heat them in the toaster oven for a quick snack.
