This is a gluten free, slightly modified version of my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. Instead of using pumpkin, I wanted to try the combination of yam with banana. It worked!
Banana Yam Muffins (GF)
“WET” INGREDIENTS:
1/2 C mashed yam (about 1 medium)
2 medium very ripe bananas, mashed
*2 cubes applesauce (about a scant 1/4 cup)
1 T organic canola oil
1/3 C organic brown sugar
1/4 C evaporated cane juice (vegan sugar)
2 t vanilla extract
2/3 C non-dairy milk
*So that I always have applesauce on hand for low-fat baking, I freeze unsweetened applesauce in ice cube trays, then thaw a few cubes at a time.
DRY INGREDIENTS:
1/2 C EACH: millet flour, quinoa flour, brown rice flour, garbanzo bean flour
2/3 C oat flour (GF)
1/3 C rolled oats (GF)
2 T ground flax seed
2 T unsweetened finely shredded coconut
2 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1 t salt
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t nutmeg
1/8 t ground clove
INSTRUCTIONS:
Mix the “wet” ingredients and the dry ingredients separately, then combine. Bake in muffin liners at 350 degrees for 23 minutes. Makes 14.
I decided to morph a pumpkin cake recipe with a pumpkin pie recipe to make these healthier, pie-like muffins. I also made them gluten-free. These are just a touch sweet and spongy moist.
“WET” INGREDIENTS:
15 oz canned pumpkin
12-14 oz package drained tofu
1/3 C maple syrup
1/3 C non dairy milk
2 t vanilla extract
*Optional- up to 1/2 C vegan brown sugar or 1/2 C evaporated cane juice + 2 T molasses
DRY INGREDIENTS:
1/2 C EACH: quinoa flour, millet flour, garbanzo bean flour, and brown rice flour
1/3 C oat flour or rolled oats (use gluten free (GF) oats, if needed)
1/3 C ground flax
1 T baking powder
3 t cinnamon
3/4 t nutmeg
3/4 t ground ginger
1/2 t salt
1/4 t allspice
1/4 t ground clove
ASSEMBLY:
Process the wet ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth. Stir the wet and dry ingredients together. Portion in muffin liners and bake at 350 degrees for 23 minutes. Makes 18.
(*Depends on how sweet you want these. I like to keep sugar to the bare minimum.)
