These muffins are GREEEN! I mean, like, really green. When they first came out of the oven I thought about the Wicked Witch of the West. Hence the terribly creative name... But don't worry about the taste. They are as sweet as Glinda welcoming Dorthy to Munchkinland. (See what I did there?)

I love the lemon zest in these muffins. It adds an unexpected tang. You will definately want to make a batch for a quick morning breakfast.

RECIPE: 1 1/2 cups Gluten Free Flour

1/2 cup coconut flour

2 tsp aluminum-free baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp fine ground sea salt

1 large egg

1/2 cup pure maple syrup (Grade B)

3/4 cup dairy or non-dairy milk (such as cashew milk)

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1 TBSP pure vanilla extract

1 6 oz bag of spinach leaves

1 lemon, zested and juiced

2 medium ripe bananas, mashed

4 TBSP pistachios, crushed

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin tin with liners. (Spray your liners with coconut oil/ other non-stick spray so that the mufffins come out easily.)

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

3. In a blender add egg, maple syrup, milk, oil, vanilla, lemon zest, lemon juice, and spinach. Process until pureed.

4. Add spinach mixture to the flour mixture and stir until combined. Fold in the mashed banana.

5. Pour batter into prepared muffin tin, filling cups about ¾ full. Top with crushed pistachios.

6. Bake about 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
