This is from Deceptively Delicious and it lives up to it's name. Very moist and tastey. No hint of veggies. I personally think a little cocoa might taste nice in this too, but it's really good w/o, I know.
Filling

- For the batter, combine the sugar, milke, blueberry and spinach purees, and oil in your mixer bowl. Beat until smooth. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined.
- Fill each muffin cup about 1/3 full with the batter. Then add a tablespoon of the filling. Then fill the rest of the way with batter.
