Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk + 1 tsp vinegar or lemon juice
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp allspice
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 medium ripe bananas or 2 large, mashed
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup molasses*
  • 1/4 cup Soom Foods premium Silan or another 1/4 cup syrup OR honey
  • 3 tbsp ghee or butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup white chocolate chips optional for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven at 350° F. Grease two muffin pans with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, beat two eggs. Combine almond milk and vinegar in a liquid measuring cup, stirring to combine. Add milk+vinegar to the eggs, along with mashed bananas, molasses, maple syrup, premium Silan (or additional syrup/honey), melted ghee, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  • Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not over-mix. Pour evenly into 16-20 muffin cups (fill about 1/2-3/4 of the way full).
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool for 15-20 minutes, then melt 1/3 cup of white chocolate chips in the microwave. Drizzle over the cooled muffins, spread with a knife, or leave them plain and serve warm with almond butter later.
  • Store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days in an airtight container, or transfer to the freezer. Reheat in the microwave to thaw. Serve with a dollop of almond butter on top if desired.
