Cinnamon Banana Raisin Muffins [No dairy, sugar, oil or gluten]

7/23/2017 4 Comments
 
I have a feeling you will LOVE this recipe! A simple quick bread recipe that can be made into muffins or even bread. Cinnamon Banana Raisin creates a comforting flavor and while they taste indulgent they are sweetened naturally with raisins and ripe bananas.

I've tossed out refined sugar, butter, eggs and milk and replaced them with plant-based ingredients that will have your body saying thank you! Mine said "may I have another". These come together in a snap, mix, bake for 30 minutes, cool for 5 and dig in. Watch how in under 3 1/2 minutes and/or see below. If you watch you may notice my nutmeg goes missing! Thankfully it's an optional ingredient. With only 10 ingredients or less you may be able to whip up a batch right away.

Makes 6 Muffins

Ingredients:
3/4 Cup Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour (4 oz)
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Cinnamon
Opt: Dash of Nutmeg
1/2 Cup Dairy Free Milk
1/2 Cup Banana Purée (mash a banana)
Opt: 1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract (bean/paste)
1 Vegan "egg" (
1 Tbsp Flax Seeds/Meal + 3 Tbsp Water)
1/2 Cup Raisins
Opt: 1/3 Cup Chopped Pecans

Directions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350° F or 175° C. Line your tin with cupcake liners or lightly grease.
  2. Combine the flax seeds/meal and water, mix and set aside to congeal. If using seeds you may have stir it 2-3 times to help it along.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients together in a medium bowl. Mix the wet together in a small bowl. Add the wet to the dry, mixing until just combined. (Or do it in a food processor/blender.) Fold in the raisins. 
  4. Transfer to your muffin tins, dividing the mixture between 6 cups. Opt to top with chopped pecans, pressing ever so slightly into the batter.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Remove and transfer to a cooling a rack, enjoy!
Notes:
  • Use your favorite dairy free milk, I've used almond and coconut milk.
  • Mix up the spices. Perhaps ginger, allspice, pumpkin spice, cloves, cardamom or 1/2 tsp of dried tea.
  • Add chocolate chips, nuts, seeds, cranberries, dried blueberries, fresh blueberries, a streusel on top etc.
  • Leave out the cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla for a more basic version.
  • Double, triple, quadrouple it! 
  • Bread: Make it into a loaf - line a loaf pan, bake for 50-60+ minutes with a doubled recipe. 
  • Add 1/4 cup of coconut sugar, maple syrup or your favorite sweetener for a sweeter muffin or bread. ​
  • New tip  coat raisins in flour first to prevent sinking. I remember learning that and then forgot to apply it, next batch! (Thank you Guru Buddhi on YT for the tip.)
