Spinach Muffins| Spinach Banana Muffins| Popeye Muffins| Green Muffins- My kids favourite colour is green, if you give ask him for choices for any thing with colour he choose only green till now. Even for his dance class he asked the satin ribbon in green colour. For toys too if he gets colour choice he choose always the green one. But donot know his tastes and liking changes as he grows like wise this also change one day over a period of time. So to surprise him i made these yummy healthy muffins.

 I loved these yummy muffins and really happy with the taste and the texture. He did not liked much as he did not like the banana flavour in it. Planning to make another version with other combination with spinach to exclude banana and have to make as per his likes.Otherwise he ate one or two. I have not added nuts init as he does not like any nuts or dry fruits in cakes and muffins. Husbands suggestion was if i have added some nuts in it it would have tasted even more better with nice crunchy texture. I know that before but purposefully avoided for my kid. But you can add nuts or chocolate chips of your choice.
