Instructions
Blend the Spinach
Add the baby spinach and eggs to a blender and blend on high speed for 60 seconds until completely smooth with no visible green flecks remaining. The mixture will turn a deep green but will disappear into the chocolate color.
Mix Wet Ingredients
Pour the spinach egg mixture into a large bowl and whisk in the honey and melted coconut oil until fully combined and smooth.
Combine Dry Ingredients
Sift the flour and cocoa powder directly into the wet ingredients and fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix or the muffins will become tough.
Bake the Muffins
Divide batter evenly into a greased 12-cup muffin tin and bake at 350 degrees F for 18 to 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing.
