Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp almond milk spinach mix 1/2 cup almond milk and 2 tablespoons frozen spinach blended
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1/3 cup cranberries
  • 1/3 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  • To start, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add your dry ingredients together into a medium bowl and mix them until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Then, thaw out the frozen spinach. This can be done quickly by placing the frozen spinach in a microwave-safe bowl and zapping it for 30 seconds.
    BLENDING SPINACH AND MILK TO MAKE A NATURAL GREEN FOOD COLORING
  • Using a small blender or immersion blender, blend the spinach and milk together. Then, strain the green milk so any chunks of spinach will be separated out.
    Straining the natural food coloring
  • Add the green milk to the dry ingredients, along with all the other wet ingredients, and mix well.

  • Then, add spoonfuls of the batter onto a Silpat lined or parchment-lined baking tray, to form rough mounds or muffin tops, and bake these in the 375-degree oven.
  • When these are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 20 minutes before you remove them from the Silpat or parchment. Then enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
