Sweet Spinach Muffins

“I like all the muffins you make, but these ones are my favorite.” My kind (and diplomatic) kindergartner told me this last week, after I served him a warm, buttered Sweet Spinach Muffin.

And I have to say, that boy has good taste. These muffins are addictively delicious, and chock full of fresh spinach to boot–an entire bag of it!

Speaking of the spinach, don’t be fooled by the verdant hue of these muffins; the greens don’t make waves, flavor-wise. Instead, the taste is sweet, cinnamony and moist, like a treat you’d serve with a cup of tea. This is true even though we only use half the sweetener you’d find in most muffin recipes.

There’s more goodness packed into these muffins: 100% whole grains, creamy banana, eggs and whole milk.
