Sweet Spinach Banana Muffins
Happy NATIONAL EAT YOUR VEGETABLES DAY & Happy NATIONAL SPINACH DAY!
Did you know?… To maintain Good Health, the recommendation is to eat a balanced diet constituted of Fresh Fruits and Vegetables everyday.
Therefore, if you have picky eaters at home, I encourage you to bake these delicious muffins for them. But whatever you do, do not tell them there is spinach in it. As a result, they will run out of the kitchen in a flash… I’d like to think some things are best kept secret. Would you agree?
I bake this recipe at home very often and found it some time ago on Joanie’s Blog (@jojo_dans_le_frigo), who is a renowned Dietitian. Of course, you will find her recipe directly on her blog right HERE! Take the time to read her website, it is a true Gold Nugget.
Who will you be tricking into eating fresh Veggies today?
I hope you will enjoy the recipe as much as I did! Bon Appétit!
As always, you will find the Step-by-Step Video below the recipe.
