What do you need to make Gluten Free and Vegan muffins?
We use some simple pantry staples and ripe bananas to make these banana muffins. Here’s what you’ll need:
Flax eggs – this is just flax meal and water combinedRipe bananas – you want the ripe ones to add sweetness and also so they mash easily.Blanched almond flour – our favorite is Bob’s Red Mill. It is super fine and works great for Gluten Free baking. Cassava flour – another great Gluten Free baking flour. We love Bob’s Red Mill again.Paleo baking powder – you can easily make this or you can also use aluminum free baking powder as well, it just has cornstarch in it, so pick the option best for you. Sea saltPure maple syrup – used as an alternative to refined sugar.Coconut oil – or you can also use ghee if you’re not VeganVanilla extractCinnamon
Making the Dairy Free maple pecan glaze
The glaze is entirely optional. The muffins are great standalone, but the glaze…well, it takes them to the next level! And it’s easy to make, too! Here’s what you do:
Make powdered maple sugar – just pulse in a food processor or high powered blender until fine and powdery. You can also use regular powdered sugar if you don’t mind some refined sugar. Add powdered maple sugar, nut milk and a splash of vanilla to a bowl and mix until glaze forms. That’s it! Put it on these muffins and enjoy!
