Trail Mix Banana Muffins

A simple muffin - no overt oils but packed with raisins, almonds and peanuts (roughly chopped) for a nice flavor boost!  It's a good idea to always have bananas ripening on the counter - make a batch or two of muffins and freeze the rest for smoothies or more muffins in the future!  

I don't measure too heavily when making anything. Below is basic plan to follow. It's your typical muffin ratio.

1/2 cup organic spelt flour

1/4 cup organic quick oats

1/4 cup unbleached organic white flour

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons hemp seeds

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 cup mixed raisins, almonds, peanuts (roughly chopped)

2-3 ripe bananas (depends on size) -  mashed well

1/4 - 1/2 cup plant milk

2 tablespoons applesauce OR juice (orange or whatever)

Stir dry ingredients together in large bowl. Make a small well. Pour in your wet ingredients using folding strokes just until mixed. Don't overmix or they'll be tough. Divide evenly between six - eight muffin cups depending on size you want. I topped my muffins with extra chopped raisin, almond, peanuts.  Worked out nicely. Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes! Cool. Store overnight in a paper bag - best way to store fresh muffins! p.s. these taste good without the nuts and raisins too if you like a plain banana muffin!  💖
