Blend to a rough puree. You don't want the batter perfectly smooth, and you probably won't even be able to achieve that without a very impressive blender. Just blend until you get an even mix.

Grease a muffin pan with spray oil. I prefer a 6-muffin pan for this recipe. The larger muffins will take longer to cook.

Bake for about 25 minutes for larger muffins, 20 minutes for smaller muffins.
