- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt

- Puree the banana and kale in a food processor or blender. (I wish I had a photo of this — it was awesomely green!) I was never able to get the mixture 100% smooth. Small specks of kale are fine.3 medium ripe bananas, 200 g kale
- Whisk the eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla together until smooth.4 eggs, ¼ cup coconut oil, ½ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Add the banana-kale puree to the egg mixture and whisk together until well incorporated.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until just combined.
- Evenly distribute the batter across 15 muffins using an ice cream scoop. One scoop per muffin was perfect!
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when stuck in the middle of a muffin.
- Remove from tin and let cool.
- Enjoy!
