If you are looking to add some fun to the vegetables in your house, give our Ninja Turtle Spinach Muffins a try. These sweet treats are packed full of protein, fiber, vegetables and a little chocolate
candy edible eyes(I find these at craft stores such as Micheals or AC Moore)
Instructions
In a food processor, blend together spinach, carrots, banana, yogurt, oil, vanilla, and egg.
In a separate bowl, mix together dry ingredients.
Pour liquid ingredients into dry and mix to create batter. Mix in dark chocolate chips. Bake at 350 F for 15 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean).
Allow muffins to cool. Melt white chocolate and mix in 1-2 drops of natural food dye to get the desired color for your turtle’s mask. Spread a small line of melted chocolate on each muffin to create the mask. Place eyes on top of the chocolate and allow to set.
Once chocolate has hardened, serve or store remaining muffins for up to 1 week in refrigerator.
