BANANA HAZELNUT MUFFINS
These are sweetened with just the banana, soaked dates, and the mini chocolate chips, so they are healthy but also delicious! I haven’t tried using ground hazelnuts instead of ground almonds, but that is next on my to-do list when making this recipe. These are the perfect yummy, quick energy snack!
DRY INGREDIENTS:
1/2 C all-purpose flour
1/3 C ground almonds (almond flour)
1/4 C rice flour
1/4 C garbanzo bean flour
1 T ground flax
2 T coconut flour
1 t baking powder
1/4 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1/2 t cinnamon
1/4 t ground nutmeg
1/3 C mini chocolate chips (non-dairy)
WET INGREDIENTS:
2 ripe bananas
7 small dates (**soak in warm water for ~1 hour before using; discard the soaking water)
2/3 C non-dairy milk
1/4 C liquid oil (i.e., avocado)
1 t vanilla extract
2 t hazelnut extract
ASSEMBLY:
- Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Blend wet ingredients.
- Combine wet & dry ingredients in the large bowl.
- Makes 12 muffins: Bake at 350 for 18-20 minutes, depending on your oven. (I have to set my oven 15 degrees higher).
- Cool for 5 minutes before removing from muffin pan.
- Enjoy!
PEACH BANANA MUFFINS
It’s funny that I’m doing another peach-based recipe, because 2 posts ago– which was a loooong time ago– I did a recipe post for Peach Cake. Back then, I had some ripe fresh peaches to use. This time, I acquired a can of peaches in heavy syrup. Either way…delicious results! This recipe has no added sugar because the subtle sweetness comes from the fruit as well as the syrup from the can. I enjoyed a couple muffins with a smear of Earth Balance. It would be tasty with a drizzle of maple syrup, too!
DRY INGREDIENTS
1 C all-purpose flour
1/3 C ground rolled oats
1/3 C chickpea flour
1 T ground flax
2 t baking powder
3/4 t cinnamon
1/2 t salt
1/4 t allspice
1/4 t ground ginger
WET INGREDIENTS
1 ripe banana, mashed
1- 15.25 oz can peaches in heavy syrup (use all of the liquid & puree the peaches)
1/4 C liquid oil (I use avocado oil)
1/2 t vanilla extract
ASSEMBLY:
- Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Combine wet ingredients in another bowl.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Spoon into silicone muffin liners (about 14).
- Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes (depending on your oven). Check at 20 minutes.
- Remove the muffin from the liners ~10 minutes after taking them out of the oven.
- Fully cool on a wire rack.
- Enjoy!
