Ingredients:
- 1 cup (145 g) low FODMAP, gluten-free all-purpose flour, such as Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour
- 1/2 cup (60 g) buckwheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil or liquid coconut oil (we like coconut)
- 1/2 cup (107 g) firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup (240 g) fork-mashed banana, about 2 medium very ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup (50 g) toasted pecans or walnut halves, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup (50 g) grated carrot, about 2 medium carrots
- 1/2 cup (85 g) canned diced or crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup (83 g) raisins
- 1/3 cup (37 g) unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation:
-
Position rack in the center of your oven. Preheat to 350° F/180°C. Coat the insides and the tops of 12 standard sized muffin tins with nonstick spray (see Tips below).
-
Whisk the flour, buckwheat flour, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl and set aside.
-
Whisk the oil, brown sugar and maple syrup in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until incorporated. Whisk in banana, nuts, carrots, pineapple, raisins, coconut, cinnamon and vanilla.
-
Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and stir together gently just until combined, finishing off with a rubber spatula.
-
Scoop batter into muffins tins - we use an ice cream scoop - dividing equally. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. A toothpick should test clean when inserted in center; the tops will spring back when gently pressed.
-
Cool pan(s) on rack for 5 minutes, then turn out and cool further on rack. Muffins are ready to eat warm, or cool completely and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Notes:
Tips
- Seeded Glorious Morning Muffins: Instead of the total amount of pecans or walnuts, use 1/4 cup (25 g) of either of those nuts and then add 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds and 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds.
- You can also make this into a loaf in a standard 9-inch by 5-inch loaf pan (23 cm by 12 cm), in which case lower the heat to 325°F/165°C. Check doneness at the 55 minute mark and use the same visual cues for doneness.
