Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil Can be substituted with melted coconut oil or applesauce for a lower-fat option.
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped Ensure that all ingredients are fresh and halal-compliant.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and chop it into small pieces.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold in the chopped spinach until just combined.
  6. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or grease it lightly. Spoon the muffin batter into each cup, filling them about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
