Favorite muffins (GF)

These are called FAVE muffins because not only are they my kids’ favorite muffins, but the recipe is also adapted from my friend’s original recipe called … Favian! Of course we also call them Fave. 🙂

I hope you love these as much as we do. Depending on whether you just want enough fresh food or want to freeze them for lunch, for a party, etc. I have three different recipes for: 18, 24 or 36 muffins – depending on how much you want to make.

If you don’t want to use maple syrup, you can switch to liquid sweeteners like honey or agave syrup.

THIS FIRST RECIPE MAKES 18 MUFFINS – one and a half of the pan shown above.

• • 1 1/2 cups of oat flour (grind rolled GF oat flakes in a blender)
  • 3/4 cup gluten-free flour mix (Pamelas is good)
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 bananas
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (or raisins, cranberries, apricots)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
2. Whisk wet ingredients (maple syrup, melted butter, eggs, bananas
3. Mix dry ingredients (everything else)
4. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients
5. Pour batter into lined muffin cups
6. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes

* Note: if you’re not adding chocolate chips or sweet dried fruit, increase the maple syrup to 1/2 cup.
