A quick and easy one-bowl recipe - allergy friendly muffins, naturally sweetened, with soft apple in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 very ripe banana (mashed)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (1/4 tsp)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups oat flour (make your own by blending oats until very fine, flour like consistency - measure after blending)
- 1 cup very finely chopped apple (1 apple, without skin)
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Prepare a muffin tin by spraying with oil or lining with muffin liners.
- Mash the banana and whisk in a large bowl with the melted coconut oil, honey, coconut milk, vanilla, salt and baking soda until well combined.
- Add the oat flour and whisk until no flour patches or clumps remain. This is a very runny batter - let it sit for a couple of minutes to thicken, but it will still be runnier than most muffin batters. Do not add more flour.
- Peel your apple (a sweeter variety works well here). Slice very thinly, matchstick size, to ensure it cooks through while baking.
- Fold in the apple pieces.
- Scoop into the muffin tin. You can make 10 large or 12 smaller muffins.
- Bake for 20 - 25 minutes. Muffins are ready when a toothpick comes out clean. Let them sit for a while before removing from the tin.
