Muffins are the unspoken hero of motherhood. This muffin recipe is one that is packed with spinach to add many nutrients not commonly seen in baked goods. They are yummy, not messy and loved by the babes. Poppy LOVES these so much that she is often mad once she is finished and there isn’t another one ready!
