Notes
- Don’t overmix. Stir only until the batter comes together, or the muffins can turn out tough.
- Use blanched almond flour. It’s made from skinless almonds, so it’s finer and lighter than almond meal.
- Fresh spinach works best. If you use frozen, thaw it completely and squeeze out all the excess moisture before folding it in.
- Check your labels. If you need these to be strictly gluten-free, make sure your cornmeal and baking soda are labeled gluten-free.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container for 2–3 days at room temperature, or refrigerate for longer. Freeze for longer storage and reheat in a warm oven.
