Spinach Muffin, a delicious, healthy and easy to make muffin in minutes. These Spinach muffins are mildly sweetened, super soft, looks vibrant and tastes absolutely delicious. It's perfect for grab and go breakfast as well as tea time.
I love spinach and it's one of my favorite greens, hence i'm always looking for new ways to include them in my diet. This spinach muffin is the latest addition to my spinach recipe collections.
Almost a year back, I had tried this recipe from pailin's kitchen for the first time with slight variation and immediately fell in love with it. The original recipe has egg in it, but I replaced it with more curd & milk and the result was awesome with wonderful texture and taste. Since then, i have been baking this muffin regularly at home. 
Tips to make vibrant green color muffins
- Highly recommend to use baby spinach for this recipe for vibrant color. Compared to the regular spinach, the color of the baby spinach is so vibrant hence the muffin also would be bright green color.
- Try to use fresh spinach which is more greener and vibrant.
- Don't over cook, remove from the oven when the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
How to store the leftover
It stays well for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. If you like to store them for more days, put it in the freezer. Microwave it for a couple of secs before serving, it tastes as good as fresh !
Now let's check out on how to make these healthy spinach muffin.
