Method
- Pop the dry ingredients (excluding the raisins) in a large bowl and give them a good whisk to combine, you can use a fork if you don’t have a whisk.
- Add the raisins to the dry ingredients. Peel the banana and the orange, core the apple but you can leave the skin on the apple.
- Pop the fruit, spinach, and the rest of the wet ingredients in a blender or food processor, blitz until you get a nice smooth green smoothie.
- Pour the smoothie into dry ingredients and mix together, mix until just combined.
- Portion into a greased muffin tin, I find the mix makes 12 standard-sized muffins. Bake at 180°C until cooked, you should be able to press the top of the muffin and it will spring back.
- Cool in the muffin tray for 5-10 minutes, remove from the muffin tray and leave on a cooling rack.
