Egg-less and Gluten Free Spinach Muffin Recipe

If you ever had to let go of tasty muffins or cakes due to egg or gluten, this recipe is also for you. Oats flour is considered safe to consume for those with gluten allergies or gluten intolerance. Due to its high fiber content, oats flour reduces the heart disease risk, lowers cholesterol, helps diabetics and decreases blood pressure.  Lastly, Oats are rich in wide variety of minerals and vitamins. They make you feel full for longer.

    Looks yummy! Have you tried subbing some or all of the oil for applesauce or more mashed banana?

      Hello Iris, no I have not tried using Apple sauce in this recipe. But I have tried reducing oil by half, which worked for me at home but I not sure if I’ll put that on blog as everyone is looking for perfect ones and you do compromise with texture.

    This is such a great recipe. And very flexible too. I have tried with and without cocoa powder, all kinds of nuts, and it’s always a hit. Only regret is that even a double batch doesn’t last a week.. gets consumed quick!

    1 Can we use all purpose flour instead of oats flour?
    2 can we use normal sugar instead of maple syrup or brown sugar?
    Reason is being that I love this recipe n give it a try.
    Plz reply me soon …

      Yes you can use regular flour and regular sugar in this recipe. But then the quantity of liquid needs to be adjusted as well, because all different flours absorb liquid differently. Batter should not be very thin or thick otherwise they would not rise properly. Regarding sugar, maple syrup is three times more sweeter than sugar. So the sugar quantity would also be needed some adjustments. In sort that would be a total new recipe with new ingredients quantity.

          Hello Divya, yes they are mildly sweet not heavy on sweetness level. Others factors add up to the sweetness level
          1. How sweet bananas are?
          2. As you mentioned that the maple syrup you used was mildly sweet
          3. How much sweetness you prefer
          We are family of where we prefer mildly sweet food not heavy sweetness.
          Do give it a try one more time with more sweeter maple syrup and see if that works out for your sweetness level.

          Thank you for sharing your experience!
          Hope next time they come out to your taste.

    Hi Rupali, Love your presentation and recipes that were made in a healthier way. Wanted to try this recipe, but when I check baking soda link it takes me to baking powder, could you update the link. And can I switch maple syrup with organic or brown sugar. Please post more baking recipes as wanted to try them for my son who loves cakes and cupcakes.

      Hello Indu,
      First of all thank you so much for visiting my blog and liking it. Second yes you can substitute brown sugar in the recipe. First try substituting little more than half of the maple syrup quantity and see if muffins come out enough sweet. Lastly thank you for bringing the glitch regarding baking soda in my notice. I’ll fix it.

      Thank you ?

    Tried them today morning. Amazing texture and taste. Subbed Maple syrup for Honey and eyeballed the Spinach as I only had frozen (put in 1 cup plus a handful).
    I am a silent member of Bento moms as well. It’s amazing how your recipes toe the line between healthy and tasty. As a full time working outside mom, incredibly helpful to have such recipes on hand!!!!

    Do you steam the spinach before adding it to the rest of the wet ingredients and blending it? Also would you recommend using bagged small leaf baby spinach for this or would this even work with regular fresh bunch of spinach? Thanks

      Hey Ambereen, Any type of fresh spinach would work, just make sure the quantity is as per recipe. No need to steam the spinach before adding. Thanks – Rupali
