Another recipe from Oh She Glows (recipe here). You better prepare yourself for a whole lot more from her. I recently downloaded her app on my phone, and it is chock full of amazing veggie filled recipes. ... Although as you can see, while veggies are great, I was actually drawn first to try her take on vegan banana muffins.
This was my first time using spelt flour, and I have to say, it won't be the last. The muffins came out incredibly light and fluffy. Spelt is not technically gluten free, as it is a cousin of sorts to wheat. However, as an "ancient grain", it is quite nutritious and the gluten is much easier to digest. Therefore, since it is healthier, and results in a fluffy baked good, it is a nice alternative to wheat.
Besides spelt (I used whole-grain spelt flour), this muffin also has banana, coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, flax seed, almond milk, oats & vanilla. I threw in some cinnamon (because everything is better with cinnamon) and topped it with some walnuts and chocolate chips. :)
The instructions are pretty straightforward. Her recipe makes it in a loaf pan. I did it as muffins, baking at 350 for about 20-22 minutes. While these do have a fair amount of sugar, it at least is in an unrefined form. All the other ingredients are very wholesome and nutritious. This makes an awesome evening treat, mid-day pick me up, or grab and go breakfast. Enjoy!
