Description

Ingredients

• ⅓ c coconut flour, available here
• ¼ c arrowroot flour, available here
• ½ tsp sea salt
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 3 bananas, mashed (Make sure they are yellow but slightly green; very ripe bananas do not work well)
• ⅓ c coconut or palm oil, melted
• ¼ c applesauce (pure, unsweetened)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ c water, plus 1 tbsp gelatin (a.k.a. gelatin “egg”) (recommended gelatin available here)
• Gently fold in 2-3 tbsp of fresh blueberries after mixing in the gelatin egg
• Or if you are not following AIP, you could add in the same amount of mini chocolate chips.

Directions

• Line muffin tin with parchment paper liners. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix the coconut flour, arrowroot flour, sea salt, cinnamon, and baking soda together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• In another bowl using an electric mixer, combine the mashed bananas, melted oil, applesauce, and vanilla. Mix well.
• In a small saucepan, add the ¼ c water and sprinkle the gelatin over the water. Allow this to sit for about two minutes.
• While the gelatin is “blooming,” add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and beat until combined.
• Turning your attention back to the saucepan, turn the heat to medium-low to melt the gelatin. This takes about one minute. Then whisk until very frothy. Work quickly. Add this to the batter, and stir.
• Using heaping tablespoon measures to drop the batter into your prepared muffin tin.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden on top.
• This recipe makes 10-12 muffins. They are delicious served hot from the oven – no need to cool down as they hold together so well.
