I had originally planned to make a simple muffin- maybe blueberry? – and turn it green by adding some spinach. The secret is revealed in the first paragraph. You can add spinach (blended in a blender) to muffins for a nutritional boost without changing their flavor. But don’t run away just yet. I have something better for you to share.
Spring is on its way if you haven’t yet felt it. Yesterday’s 70-degree sunshine confirmed this. And to me, there is nothing more springlike and fresh than lemons.
The sunshiny orange fruit (spring!) was my inspiration. fresh!) Spinach (St. Patrick’s Day Green!) Health!) Try to make a healthy and tasty muffin. I had to play with the juicer I love, and make a few kitchen mess…
But I ended up with an incredibly bright, light, and not overly sweet muffin.
They are delicious on their own, and a nice change from the usual muffin flavors. The muffins go well with tea or fresh fruit in the morning, as well as with afternoon tea.
When I began to think about how these would be perfect for a brunch in the spring, I saw a vision of lemon drizzle and knew I needed to take things up a level.
