Grain (and Gluten) – Free Banana Muffins

Grain Free Banana MuffinsThe following muffin recipe was created by my sister while she was on the Elimination Diet, and I do have to say, it doesn’t make you miss grains that’s for sure! I use this recipe to create a light snack for work, presentations, or just a snack for at home. This recipe is even great for lunches for the kids. So try it out and let me know what you think!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup nut butter
  • 2 medium sized bananas (The more ripe, the sweeter!)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons of raw honey
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • You can also include different toppings, including: coconut flakes, raisins, flax seed,  chocolate chips, cinnamon, and/or anything else you can think of (to be honest I like it without the toppings!).

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor. You can also use a stick blender if you have one.
  3. Blend until well mixed.
  4. Pour batter into a greased muffin tin. You can also use a mini muffin tin to make 24 mini muffins.
  5. Add additional toppings of your choice to each muffin and lightly stir into each cup
  6. Cook time: 15 minutes for full size muffins and 10 minutes for mini muffins. Test your muffins by using a toothpick in the middle of the muffin and removing it. If the toothpick is free of any crumbs, then your muffins are done, otherwise continue baking for several minutes longer.
  7. The recipe should yield 12 regular sized muffins or 24 mini – muffins.
