Ingredients
- 1 cup Florida Orange Juice
- 2 cups packed spinach
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup raw old-fashioned oats

- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line 12- count muffin pan with high quality muffin liners. We used jumbo foil muffin liners for best results.
- In a blender, add Florida Orange Juice, spinach, apple sauce, oil and vanilla and blend until spinach is fully pureed.
- Add oats, almond flour, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to mixture in blender and pulse until fully mixed, scraping down sides of blender as needed.
- Add eggs and pulse quickly, just until incorporated; taking care not to over-mix.
- Stir in chocolate chips and pour muffin batter evenly into 12 muffin cups. Top with additional chocolate chips if desired; bake in oven for 25 minutes.
- Once removed from oven, allow muffins to rest in pan for 5 minutes before transferring to wire drying rack to fully cool before enjoying.
Notes
- Use high quality jumbo foil liners for best results.
- Please allow for muffins to cool completely before removing liners to prevent sticking.
- Grain free muffins need to be fully cooled before enjoying for best texture.
- If you need to speed up cooling process place in freezer. 😜
