Cooking is my therapy. And when Possum (now 21 months old) decides sleep is for losers, mummy needs therapy. This recipe was conceived and baked in 30 minutes. In time for Possum and I to curl up on the couch together, eating muffins, watching Ratatouille and being friends again.
Since Possum was diagnosed with an egg allergy, I had gone right off baking. Not trusting egg replacements and I think being a bit OTT with mourning the lack of eggy goodness in our kitchen (as I’m still breastfeeding I’m not eating egg either). Now I am 18 weeks pregnant and recognizing I needed a healthy snack when I’ve got the munchies (goodbye nausea, hello appetite again!!).
I’m very proud to share with you my recipe for…
Egg Free Banana and Date Muffins
Makes 12 mini muffins (next time I would double the recipe)
3/4 cup SR flour
1/4 cup oats
1/4 cup almond meal
1/4 cup desicated coconut
1/4 cup coconut sugar
2 Tbsp chia seeds soaked in 1/2 cup water for 15 minutes (looks a bit like frog spawn……..)
1 very ripe banana mashed
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp No Egg mixed with 2 Tbsp water
8 dates chopped
1-2 Tbsp melted butter
Mix all your dry ingredients together.
Add your No Egg mixture, chia seed mix, milk, banana and butter.
Mix until just come together. Spoon into pregreased mini muffin pan. Bake for 15 minutes at 180 fan forced (200 standard). Cool on wire rack. Enjoy!
These are low in sugar and have a good mix of yummy healthy things in them. Possum declared after one bite “I love muffin!”. Therapy was a success in more ways than one!
