Banana Muffins
I don’t know about you but my family will either eat 10 bananas in one week or 2 and there’s no clue to what it’s going to be! I just could not throw those over ripe bananas away, even when my neighbor looks at them with a disgusted side eye! I started making mini banana muffins about every other week, I found the week priors bananas could be added to any current weeks bananas and still produce great results.
Banana muffins are a great muffin to make eggless because banana is actually an egg substitute. For us these muffins have been a staple in our house since our son was diagnosed with a severe egg allergy 6 years ago. I have recently reconfigured the recipe to be top 8 free and the results are amazing! I seriously did not know gluten free eating could taste so good.
- FREEZING It did not take long to figure out these muffins would freeze beautifully. After they have completely cooled you can place them in a freezer bag or container of your choice. I have never had to lay these flat, they do not freeze onto one another. They have been a real time saver on those busy school mornings. Pop 3 frozen muffins in the microwave for 60 seconds and breakfast is served. Pair it with a yogurt of you child’s choice and breakfast is served!
- FLAX EGG Each Flax seed egg is 3 Tablespoons of warm water mixed with 1 Tablespoon of ground Flax seed. Stir and allow to rest for 5 minutes. It will become a little thicker as the flax absorbs some of the water.
- BAKING I prefer to bake all my muffins without wrappers. I spray or oil the muffin pan with avocado oil because it has a higher smoke point (up to 500 degrees fahrenheit.) After baking I allow the muffins to cool slightly in the pan and then lift them out with a fork or butter knife.
