Here is a super easy on-the-go muffin to make at the beginning of the week, Spinach and Banana Blender Muffins.
Similar to making a smoothie, toss all of these healthful ingredients into a blender, blend away, pour into a cupcake tin, and voila! You’ll have delicious, nutritious muffins for the week!
I love that in this Spinach and Banana Blender Muffins recipe you can use ripe bananas (and you don’t have to wait for them to be over-ripe, like traditional banana muffins). While overripe is perfectly fine to use here, sometimes we just don’t want to wait and we want delicious banana muffins in our kitchen!
I also boost these muffins by adding in Rootz Nutrition Collagen Superfood, which has 15 grams of collagen and plant protein and brain-boosting MCT’s! It’s so tasty and healthy and really makes these muffins packed with nutritious goodies. This collagen superfood product is gluten-free, dairy-free, no sugar added and 100% paleo approved and I absolutely love tossing it in smoothies and baked goods!

My entire family LOVES these green blender muffins and I hope yours will, too!

Holy Moly! This is super tender and chewy at the same time! I omit the the Collagen and kept everything same. No spinach smell and taste whatsoever that my boy asked for third one. I live at mile high city so I baked at 375F for 14 minutes and came out beautiful.
Thanks for the great recipe!
Glad you loved it!
We call these Hulk Muffins and they are a favorite in my house. We love making them as mini muffins and most recently served them as an appetizer at my daughters 6th birthday party and they were devoured. I’ve learned the recipe turns out best if you just do the wet ingredients in the blender (incl spinach), dry ingredients in a bowl and then pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Otherwise I’ve over mixed in the blender trying to get everything blended and the resulting texture was not great. Thanks for such a yummy and healthy recipe!
Can you use frozen chopped spinach? How much would I use if so? Thanks!
These are delicious and so easy to make. I had everything but maple syrup so substituted 1:1 with coconut sugar and they turned out fantastic. I will definitely be making these again!!
Does anyone know if these freeze well?
Yes! I take them straight out of the freezer and microwave for around 45 seconds. You can also place in the fridge the night before.
