Ingredients

1 10 oz bag of spinach
1 avocado peeled and pitted
½ cup apple sauce
⅓ cup honey
¾ cup milk
2 large ripe bananas
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ⅓ cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips the miniature ones work great too!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing the cups with baking spray or filling them with liners.
Mix spinach, avocado, apple sauce, honey, milk, banana and vanilla in a blender or mixer until well combined.
Add egg, flour, baking powder and baking soda and mix just until combined - you don't want to over mix. Some flour will still be seen around the edges of your blender and that's fine.
Add the chocolate chips and use a spatula to stir them into the batter, along with any flour that may not have mixed in while blending.
Scoop or pour batter into the mini muffin tin. I use a small cookie scoop and it works great!
Bake for 15 mins (may be less depending on how full you fill the cups). I usually fill them pretty close to the top. Use a cake tester or toothpick to check the centers to make sure they are done!
