Description
Delicious and healthy banana muffins made with almond flour and sweetened naturally.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup banana (135 g, mashed very ripe, from 1 very large or 2 smaller bananas)
- 1 cup apples (diced, peel on is fine)
- ½ cup sunbutter
- 5 Tablespoons coconut sugar
- ¼ cup avocado oil (or coconut oil, melted and cooled)
- 2 teaspoons molasses (optional, omit for VAD)
- ¼ cup + 2 Tablespoons blanched almond flour (choose the organic one)
- ¼ cup + 2 Tablespoons sweet rice flour (choose the organic one)
- 2 Tablespoons arrowroot (or tapioca flour, choose the organic one)
- 2 Tablespoons psyllium husk whole (choose the organic one)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda (sifted)
- ¼ teaspoon quality salt
- 1 teaspoon dried ginger
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom
- ⅛ teaspoon dried cloves (or 1–2 drops cloves EO)
Instructions
- Line muffin tin; set aside. Preheat oven to 325℉.
- Smash bananas in a large mixing bowl. Add seed or nut butter, apples, oil, coconut sugar, and molasses.
- Place remaining dry ingredients on top: almond flour, sweet rice flour, arrowroot, psyllium, spices, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Stir together with a spatula quickly (as batter will thicken as it sits), but without over-mixing. You can also use a handheld mixer. The batter will be very thick.
- Fill muffin tin. This recipe makes 6 jumbo muffins or 8 to 10 smaller muffins.
- Bake for 25 minutes (or about 20 minutes for smaller muffins). Allow to cool on a rack, then enjoy.
- To store, place in a sealed container on the counter for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. To defrost, place at room temp for 2 hours, or overnight.
Notes
- Using very ripe bananas enhances the sweetness and flavor.
- For VAD, omit the molasses.
- Can substitute coconut oil for avocado oil if preferred.
