Here's the recipe for the muffins I made yesterday. They made exactly 12 regular size muffins and were pretty tasty straight out of the oven. I was pleased with how they tasted and was SO excited I was going to make more, with a tweak or two. Sheesh! I tried one at room temp this morning, and all I have to say is, yuck. yuck, yuck, and more yuck. But the kids love them. They think they are getting something "amazing" and chocolate (since I don't normally let them eat chocolate) and they are all for them. But I am still going to work on them. My Notes:
- Subbed flax meal for oil, next time try applesauce or prunes
- Added splashes of vanilla
- Use more bananas ~ at least 3
- Bake about 17 minutes in my oven
- 2 cups whole-wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons (aluminum free) baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 beaten egg
- 2 bananas, mashed (or 3)
- ½ cup soymilk, almond milk, or sesame milk (rice milk)
- ¼ cup safflower oil (or 3/4 c. flax meal, or 1/4 c. applesauce or prunes)
- ¾ cup raw honey or natural sugar substitute (I ran out so I used about 1/3 c. honey and a few shakes of brown sugar)
- 1/3 chopped nuts (not at our house!!)
Preparation Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and cocoa powder. In a smaller mixing bowl combine the egg, milk, oil, bananas and honey together. Add all at once to dry ingredients. Fold in the chopped nuts. Fill paper muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Makes 12 delicious muffins.
