Muffin Monday Banana Cherry Muffins DF

Happy Muffin Monday everyone! Here’s a recipe for all you Dairy Free folks out there. Hope you like it!

Banana Cherry Muffins

INGREDIENTS: 1 1/2 c Whole Wheat Flour 1 1/2 c Almond Meal 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt 1 teaspoon Baking Soda 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil 2 Large Eggs 2 tablespoons Demerara Sugar

2 teaspoons Almond Extract 2 Bananas

1 cup Cherries (diced)

1 Zucchini (grated) Topping: 2 tablespoons Almonds (silvered) 2 tablespoons Whole Wheat Flour 2 tablespoons White Sugar 2 tablespoons melted Butter DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare muffin cups. 2. In a large bowl place Flour, Almond Meal, Salt and Baking Soda. Mix. 3. In a medium bowl, mash the Bananas add Eggs one at a time, mixing well with each addition. Add Olive Oil, Demerara Sugar and Almond Extract. 4. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together. 5. Add the Cherries and Zucchini and mix gently. 6. Divide the batter evenly into 12 muffin cups. 7. In a small bowl combine all the topping ingredient. Divide evenly onto the muffins. 8. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean. Both Maggie and I thought these muffins could have used a little more sugar… so you might want to add a bit more, or serve with marmalade. They are moist — especially considering there’s no milk or butter in the recipe — and moderately fluffy. You can really taste the Banana, not so much the Cherry. Give ’em a try and let me know what you think.
