Preparation:

  • Remove the pits from the dates.

  • Process these ingredients into a dough like mixture.

  • Put some dough into a silicon muffin mold, pressing it to the bottom and along the inner walls of the mold.
  • Continue until you use up all the dough.
  • Place the molds in the freezer to have the muffin crusts tighten up.

Filling preparation:

  • Peel the bananas.

  • Blend the dried apples into flour.

  • Add the bananas and strawberries to the flour in the blender.
  • Blend these ingredients into a creamy filling.

Now we have flowers, so we need butterflies 🙂

  • Peel the apple.
  • Cut the apple into thin slices.
  • From each slice, make a butterfly shape with a butterfly-shaped cutter.

  • Let one butterfly land on each flower, and then return them together to the freezer to have the muffins tighten up.

  • As for the flowers, we also need leaves, so we will employ spinach leaves for this cause.

  • Spring muffins are ready!
