Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a muffin pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, add the oat flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
In a high speed blender, add the eggs, spinach, banana, almond milk, maple syrup and vanilla. Pulse for about 15-20 seconds until smooth. The mixture should look like a liquid green smoothie. Very small bits of spinach is ok!
