Chocolate Spinach Muffins are a delightful treat combining rich chocolate flavor and nutritious spinach, creating a moist, decadent muffin. A perfect way to sneak in veggies without compromising on taste, these muffins are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.

Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup all-purpose flour

¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup granulated sugar

½ cup brown sugar, packed

½ cup vegetable oil

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup milk

1 cup fresh spinach, blended until smooth

½ cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully blended.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, milk, and blended spinach until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently folding until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. If desired, fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop the batter into the muffin pan, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water per egg) and use plant-based milk.

Frozen spinach can be used; just ensure it’s thawed, drained, and blended until smooth.

These muffins freeze well for up to 3 months. Reheat by microwaving for 20-30 seconds or letting them thaw at room temperature.

If you want the muffins sweeter, you can add 2-4 extra tablespoons of sugar or use sweeter cocoa powder.
