Ingredients
- 2 batches flax eggs
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 3 Tbsp agave nectar or maple syrup ((or honey if not vegan))
- 3 Tbsp unsweetened vanilla or plain almond milk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup almond meal ((ground from raw almonds - not almond flour or pre-ground store-bought))
- 2/3 scant cup oat flour ((ground from GF oats))
- Chopped nuts
- Rolled oats
- Crumb topping
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and line a muffin tin with 8 paper liners (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size).
-
In a large bowl, prepare flax egg by mixing flaxseed + water and letting rest for a few minutes.
-
Next add bananas and mash. Add agave, baking powder, vanilla, almond milk and stir.
-
Add almond meal and oat flour and stir once more. Taste to see if it needs more sweetener. I added a touch more because I prefer sweeter muffins.
-
Bake for 30-40 (+) minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and they become somewhat firm to the touch with a little give. They should appear golden brown on top.
-
Remove and let rest in pan for 5 minutes. Then let cool completely on a cooling rack. They can be tender when they're warm. (I even found that they are better after cooling overnight.)
-
Store in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap for several days. Freeze for longer storage.
