Ingredients
Alternative Whole Grain Flour Mixture
- 1/2 cup sorghum flour
- 1/2 cup millet flour
- 1/2 cup sweet rice flour
- 1/4 cup teff
- 1/4 cup tapioca starch/flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. guar gum
- 1 Tbs. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
- 2 tsp. lemon zest
- 1/8 cup whole kernel millet adds a healthy nutty crunch without the nuts!
- 1/3 cup butter or non-dairy alternative Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks or Earth Balance® Soy-Free Coconut Spread or Palm Oil Shortening
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar cane or unrefined coconut palm
- 4 oz. apple butter homemade recipe or natural applesauce
- 1/2 cup mashed banana OR vanilla yogurt dairy or non-dairy (soy, coconut, almond – I like So Delicious® Coconut Greek Yogurt)
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. pure almond extract optional
- 1/4 cup milk or non-dairy milk soy, coconut, almond – I like So Delicious® Coconut Beverage OR water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F (static) or 325° F (convection).
- Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the apple butter, banana, lemon juice, and almond extract. Stir in the dry ingredients, adding the milk last. Beat until smooth.
- Scoop equal portions of batter into oiled or lined muffin tins. Bake for 20-22 minutes, testing with a toothpick to be sure they are fully cooked, but do not overcook, as that will dry out muffins.
- Remove from the oven to cool on a wire rack. Store any extra muffins in a zip-top bag on the counter.
- Yield: 12-18 muffins, depending on size.
