0 servings
What you need
1 cup blanched almond flour
1 cup whole grain oat flour
¾ cup sweet rice flour
3 tbsp tapioca flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp fine sea salt
1 ¾ cup banana
½ cup light-brown sugar
2 tbsp non-dairy milk
½ cup orange oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Batter 6 Line 12 standard-sized muffin cups with paper liners. 9 Sift or whisk together the almond, oat/sorghum, sweet rice, and tapioca flours with the baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl. Add back any bits left behind in the sifter to the bowl. 7 Peel the bananas into a large bowl. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth with some small lumps and starting to liquify. 8 Whisk in the brown sugar, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. 10 Add the flour mixture and stir until the batter is smooth and thick. Stir in the chocolate, if using. 11 Divide the batter between the muffin cups, filling them to the top and mounding the batter slightly. 0 For the best rise and texture, pop the filled muffin tin in the fridge for 20 minutes while you preheat the oven. This allows the flours to absorb some moisture giving the muffins a smoother texture and higher rise. Bake 5 While the batter chills, position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 375ºF (190ºC) (if using a convection fan oven, lower by 25ºF). 12 Bake the muffins for 22-27 minutes, rotating once halfway through for even baking. The muffins are done when their tops are golden and a tester inserted near the center comes out with a few most crumbs. 13 Let the muffins cool for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pan to a wire rack to cool to warm or room temperature. Enjoy your majestic muffins! Storage 14 These keep beautifully covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to a week. Freeze for longer storage.
