Blueberry and Banana Muffins

Hello!

I have come home from uni for the weekend so yesterday my brother and I decided to have a day of healthy baking. I decided I wanted to make these yummy treats using a recipe inspired by Deliciously Ella (I changed it a little according to the ingredients/equipment I had).




The muffins are seriously good and the blueberries make them lovely and gooey. What made me want to make them is that they don't contain flour - you essentially make your own flour by blending almonds, oats and ground flaxseed.

Anyway, here are the ingredients I used to make 15 muffins:

  • 85g oats
  • 150g almonds (or ground almonds could be easier)
  • 85g ground Flaxseed
  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 85g raisins (I used dried cranberries as I have an irrational hatred of raisins)
  • 250g fresh blueberries 
  • 180ml apple juice 
  • 240ml water
  • 6tbsp organic honey
  • 2tsp cinnamon

Method:

If you have a food processor, put the almonds, oats and ground flaxseed in it and blend until it is nice and smooth. I don't, so I ground the almonds in a pestle and mortar (so old school, you might want to buy ground almonds instead) and then put those, the oats and the flaxseed in a blender and it worked just fine!



Add your homemade flour (be proud) to a mixing bowl, then slice the bananas into it. Next add the water, apple juice, honey and cinnamon and whisk into a smooth muffin mixture.




When this is done, stir in the raisins/any dried berry and the blueberries, pour into muffin cases in a muffin tray and bake for about 40 minutes.



Hope you enjoy them as much as I did!



Happy baking x
