Banana Blueberry Muffins

5/10/2018

0 Comments

 
These muffins are dense and super filing for a breakfast snack. I love to make them with freshly ground kamut or spelt but use whatever flour floats your boat! Just make them. They freeze great so double it up.

Ingredients:

2 extra ripe bananas
2 eggs
1 cup coconut sugar
1/2 cup melted butter or coconut oil
1 c. fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 cups whole grain flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. sea salt

Directions:

Mash bananas well in a bowl until smooth. Add in eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla. Mix well. Add in the dry ingredients and blend until smooth. 

Bake at 350 for about 17-20 minutes for regular muffins or 12-15 for mini.

1/2 c. almond meal flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/4 c. rolled oats (GF for GF option)
1 T. chia seeds
1/2 c. fresh or frozen blueberries
Nuts optional

Stir oil, coconut sugar, banana, vanilla and almond extract
together till smooth. Add in the flax meal, almond meal, baking soda, cinnamon and salt till a thick dough forms.
Next add in the oats and chia seeds and gently fold in the blueberries. Add nuts if desired. 

Use a cookie scoop or 1/4 c. scoop to scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet. Greased or parchment lined. Gently press down the dough a little and make sure it is compacted together. Bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool slightly. Refrigerate leftovers.

These banana muffins are my new favorite because they are not so sweet but
oh, so moist and yummy! They are refined sugar and dairy free unless you want a little turbinado sugar on top for some crunch!

1/3 c. coconut oil
1/2 c. honey
2 eggs
1 cup smashed, ripe bananas
1/4 c. milk of choice
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 3/4 c. whole grain flour (I used Kamut)
1/3 c. oats (  plus more for the top)
1 tsp turbinado sugar to sprinkle on top if desired

Directions:

Beat melted coconut oil and honey together. Add eggs, mashed bananas and milk. After combined, stir in the baking soda, vanilla, salt and cinnamon. Add the flour and oats and mix until just combined. Scoop into 12 muffin tins and sprinkle with a little oats and turbinado sugar if desired. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until done.
