Peanut Flour Banana Muffins, Grain/Gluten/Sugar/Oil Free

These muffins are definitely a departure from my usual coconut based recipes.  But sometimes you just have to switch it up!  Especially if you have some brown bananas hanging around.  And peanut flour you really dont't know what else to do with.  Since I no longer eat peanuts, just about the only thing to do with it is to bake muffins, since I don't eat those either, haha.  This is a useful recipe though, because it's gluten and grain free, is only sweetened with bananas and stevia, and is also oil free and can easily be dairy free by using any kind of nutmilk.

Peanut Flour Banana Muffins
1 3/4 cups peanut flour
pinch of salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk of choice
2 small bananas, mashed
1 tsp vanilla extract
30 drops SweetLeaf English Toffee Alcohol Free Liquid Stevia, or your preferred liquid stevia

Use a fork or whisk to combine your dry ingredients.  In a separate bowl, combine your mashed bananas, eggs, milk, extract, and stevia.  Pour wet into dry and mix, but don't overmix.  Pour into paper lined muffin tin and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until the tops are just starting to darken.  This made 10 muffins for me.  

These muffins have a decent amount of protein for such a small snack.  Almost 6 grams!  They'd be a decent choice for breakfast or for a snack, that is if peanuts don't bother you.  Certainly this recipe could be easily adapted with almond flour or using almond butter.  Chocolate chips would make this a great dessert too!

Enjoy folks.  XoXoGFG

Banana Peanut Flour Muffins- Sugar, Grain, Gluten Free


Clearly not a paleo recipe, but certainly a gluten, grain, and sugar free muffin, these little guys have that  unmistakeable peanut/banana flavor combo going on that most of us can't resist!  They make the perfect  breakfast for S and are a nice change from all that coconut flour.

Banana Peanut Flour Muffins
2 overripe bananas
2 eggs
1/4 cup walnut oil
1 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp SF liquid sweetener
12 drops Vanilla Creme Stevia
4 tbsp peanut flour
1 tbsp coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Makes 8 muffins.

Mash your bananas and add your eggs, oil, vanilla, sweetener, and liquid stevia.  Mix well.  In a separate bowl, use a fork to combine your peanut flour and coconut flour, and salt and baking powder.  Add wet to dry and mix well.  Pour into lined muffin tin and bake at 350 until the tops are browned.  A new trick I learned is that you want to remove the muffins when they are nice and browned, but still "crackling" when you listen to them.

These are for S to have for breakfast during the week, but I did have to cut off a small piece to make sure they were good.  If you were wondering, yes, they are crazy ridiculous good.  I so miss bananas, sigh.
