Banana Muffins - GF/DF
2 cups of almonds (You can substitute a mix of hazlenuts and/or pecans with half the almonds)
1/2 cup of rice (or more nuts if preferred.)
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1/2 cup of honey
2 large bananas
pinch of salt
teaspoon cinnamon
teaspoon cardamon
teaspoon of Bi carb of soda (could add a teasppon of baking powder too)
optional - 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds or dairy free choc chips
Preheat oven to 180 degrees (175 fan forced)
Prepare muffin tins.
Grind nuts on Speed 7 for 10 seconds. Set aside.
Grind rice on Speed 9 for 1 minute, add to ground nuts. (Wash bowl - I don't bother!)
Place butterfly in bowl and beat eggs on Speed 4 for 3 minutes.
Remove butterfly.
Add banana chunks, vanilla, honey and mix Speed 4 for 10-15 seconds.
With thermi running on Speed 3, over about two minutes slowly add the dry ingredients (ground nuts, ground rice, salt, cinnamon, cardamon, bicarb.)
Add sunflower seeds or DF choc chips and mix briefly on Speed 1 or 2.
Pour into patty pans and cook in oven for about 18 minutes.
This recipe was given to me recently and I've just tweaked it for the thermi.
