Instructions

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.
