flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Use a food processor to blend the spinach with a drop of water until smooth.

In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

In another bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.

Add the mashed bananas to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Add the spinach mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.

Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts if desired.

Spoon the batter into a muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the tops are slightly browned.

Let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
