Paleo, Gluten Free, Grain Free Mini Muffins {2 Versions}

Paleo, Gluten Free, Grain Free Mini Muffins {2 Versions}

 

I recently had a recipe on my site that quickly became very popular.  It was a quick mini muffin that took only 5 minutes to whip up!  Here is that recipe:

 Got 5 Minutes? Here is The Easiest Gluten Free & Grain Free Muffins Ever 

I had quite a few request to make these muffins without using bananas.  Easy enough…just had to experiment and bonus…I got to eat more of these amazing muffins!

First, if you haven’t tried that recipe, I encourage you to try it.  It is quite amazing!  I was a bit surprised how many requests I got for banana free paleo mini muffins.

So today’s version of these amazing muffins is made with applesauce rather than bananas.  I will include both versions of this recipe and you pick which one to try first.  Both of these paleo, gluten free, grain free mini muffins are terrific!

How To Substitute Ingredients

 

One of my most frequently asked questions is how to substitute certain ingredients.  In today’s recipe I am going to talk about substituting bananas for applesauce.

The first important piece of information is that 1 medium banana is about 1/3 cup smashed.  I think you could easily substitute bananas out with unsweetened applesauce or pearsauce or a combination of the two.

Here is what I did to make my own quick homemade apple-pear sauce.  Be sure to check out the chart in this post to get the desired consistency of applesauce that you are looking for.

I made a chunky pear-apple sauce and used 2 medium apples and 2 really ripe pears and that made 2/3 cups of chunky pear-apple sauce, exactly what you need for this recipe.  Here is the recipe:

Quick and Easy Homemade Apple Pear Sauce Recipe

Simply replace the bananas with 2/3 cup of applesauce, pearsauce or apple-pear sauce.  So let’s get to these 2 different recipes.

So here are these little gems made with apple-pear sauce.  They taste amazing and have a nice sweetness to them.

Description

These amazing muffins are made paleo, gluten-free, grain-free. They make a great afternoon snack.

 


Ingredients

  • 1 cup nut butter – You can shop for nut butters here
  • 2/3 cups applesauce, pearsauce or apple-pear sauce (The more ripe, the sweeter!)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla (try making your own!)
  • 2 tablespoons of raw honey (or other sweeteners such as maple syrup, stevia, etc.)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Toppings: dehydrated unsweetened coconut flakes, raisins, flaxseed, dark chocolate chips, cinnamon, and/or anything else you can think of. I added even more tupelo honey 😉 Feel free to lather on apple butter, strawberry preserves, or even more peanut butter. Ever heard of carrot jam? It’s very tasty with this snack, too!

Instructions

  2. Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor. You can also use a stick blender if you have one.
  3. Blend until well mixed.
  4. Pour batter into a greased muffin tin. You can also use a mini muffin tin to make 24 mini muffins.
  5. Add additional toppings of your choice to each muffin and lightly stir into each cup
  6. Cook time: 15 minutes for full size muffins and 10 minutes for mini muffins.
  7. Reheat in a toaster oven for about 4 minutes at 350 degrees F, or eat at room temperature.

Fresh out of the oven!  I did notice that they did not rise quite as high as the muffins made with bananas, but it didn’t bother me one bit.  These muffins are OUTSTANDING!

Paleo, Gluten Free, Grain Free Mini Muffins Made With Bananas {Version 2}

 

So onto version two of this recipe! I absolutely love this recipe too!  Make sure your bananas are super ripe.  The more ripe, the sweeter the muffins.

    You must take a plunge into the water, not knowing how to swim. And the beauty of meditation is that you never know where you are, where you are going, what the end is.
