Walnut Bread Muffins
(Vegan/Dairy Free/Gluten Free Recipe!)
2 ripe mashed bananas
1/2 cup warm almond milk + 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup vegan cane sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup soy free buttery spread, melted
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups gluten free flour
1 tbsp. milled flax
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. xanthan gum
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/3 cup walnut pieces
Preheat the oven to 350 F. In a glass mixing bowl, mash your very ripe bananas. Add to the bananas, rice milk, vinegar, cane sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract & cinnamon. Cream this mixture together well.
Next, in a separate mixing bowl, mix together the flour, milled flax, baking powder, guar gum & sea salt. Add your flour mix, carefully to your creamed banana mixture & mix it all in well. If it appears not moist enough, add a tbsp more of rice milk or so. Moisture is a good thing! After creating a batter, lightly oil a six-sectioned silicon muffin pan & evenly distribute muffin batter between the six sections of the pan. Next, add your walnut pieces to the top & place in the oven to bake 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
Test with a toothpick in the center, to indicate readiness.
