AKA: Maia’s Magic Muffs
I created these muffins for my daughter when she was healing from an injury and and chronic illness. On purpose, I turned a plain grain-free muffin into healing magic. I hope it works for you too!
Adaptogenic Grain-Free Banana Chocolate Muffins
Ingredients
The Basics
- 3 Bananas, frozen then defrosted work well
- 3 Eggs (ask your local day range hens is they have any available)
- 1/2 cup Almond butter, organic
- 1/4 cup Blackstrap Molasses
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (make your own!)
- 1/4 cup Coconut Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 pinch Sea Salt
- 1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Chips, fair trade and organic
Optional
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4-1/2 cup Whole Rolled Oats
The Magic
- 1 tsp Ashwagandha powder for stress resilience
- 1 tsp Mucuna powder for better dopamine production
- 1 tsp Spirit Dust from Moon Juice – mood adaptogens
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350ºF
- Mash bananas in mixing bowl
- Add eggs and other liquid ingredients and stir until mixed
- Add dry ingredients and stir until mixed
- Add in the mix-ins and optional oats and stir
- Scoop into silicone muffin pan or greased muffin pan (the little papers do not work very well with this recipe)
- Cook in oven for about 25 minutes until dry in the middle
- Wait longer than you would with a flour-based muffin to remove from the pan for added cooling. Otherwise you are likely to have a big collection of muffin crumbs.
Notes
Notes: These are quite filling and rich in protein and fat. They are also a good iron source. Pair them with a plate of veges and vitamin C rich fruits.
