Chickpea Banana Muffins (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)
Description
Chickpea Banana Muffins use canned garbanzo beans drained and rinsed, mashed together with ripe banana, eggs, coconut sugar, baking powder and soda, vinegar, vanilla extract, and salt to form a smooth batter. The inclusion of chickpeas adds protein and moisture, resulting in a tender, dense crumb while keeping the muffins gluten- and dairy-free. Chocolate chips can be stirred in for extra indulgence. After filling muffin cups three-quarters full, the muffins bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes until golden around the edges and a toothpick tests clean. Cooling fully before removing the paper liners helps maintain muffin shape and texture. These muffins provide an alternative baked treat suitable for restricted diets, balancing wholesome ingredients with familiar flavors.
