Spinach-Banana Muffins for the Picky Eater

Let me preface this post, my Boys are usually great at eating all types of food, including vegetables. Much to the dismay of my veggie-loving heart, they have recently gone on green strike. In order to incorporate more veggies in their diet, I came up with this recipe:

Spinach-Banana Muffins

1 1/2 cup spinach
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 very ripe bananas
1/2 cup sugar
2 whole eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda

Combine the first 6 ingredients in a food processor until spinach is creamy and in very small pieces. Mix last 4 ingredients in a separate bowl and fold into spinach mixture until just combined. Grease cupcake pan or use papers and fill 3/4 full. Bake at 375 for 12-17 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Cooking time may vary depending on stove. Makes about 1 dozen muffins.
