Green Monster Strawberry Muffins
Green Monster Strawberry Oat Muffins. With all the strawberry picking everyone has been doing lately, I was inspired to make some strawberry muffins. Strawberries are not only delicious but have many health benefits. They are packed with vitamins and minerals, they are particularly high in Vitamin C and Manganese, fiber and have very high levels of antioxidants. These muffins are also filled with hidden veggies, the spinach may change the color of the muffins but I promise it doesn’t change the taste! These muffins are healthy and delicious and something you can feel good about feeding your family.
Ingredients:
2 cups oats
2 egg whites
1 cup strawberry Greek yogurt (can use plain but I like the little extra strawberry flavor)
¼ cup coconut sugar (or honey)
2 cups raw spinach
1.5 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
½ cup fresh strawberries (chopped)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Line or grease muffin tins
In a blender add oats and pulse a few times to start breaking down the oats
Add all remaining ingredients except the strawberries to the blender and blend until smooth (try not to overblend)
Fold in chopped strawberries
Divide batter evenly into muffin tins
Bake for 22-25 minutes
Let cool completely before removing from tins
Enjoy!
