It has been my goal as of late to make efforts (substantial efforts) to get rid of things in my pantry/fridge before I go grocery shopping. For instance, do you know what I can do with a gallon of raw milk that I cannot finish by the expiration date? Well, I figured it out – so tune in!
In this case, it was spinach. I usually use it up with green monsters, salads and the like, but I had some extra to use up.
This is where Diana and her Green Monster Muffins enters the scene. I have had this recipe printed and bookmarked since early early 2010 (I have to stress the early). With that said, this was definitely not the first time I have tried one of Diana’s recipes (here).
And, like her cookie dough balls, the muffins were another hit!

*The only change I made was to add orange zest instead of lemon and I only had cinnamon apple sauce. Loved every bite!
Moist, fully flavorful with a hint of the orange, and an excellent crumb.
And, I did eat every single one of those crumbs.
My review of these chic muffins: très bien!
Have you tried Diana’s Green Monster Muffins? How do you make efforts to use things up in your pantry/fridge? Do you enjoy grocery shopping?
