Healthy Banana Muffins with Turmeric
Description
Combining dates, mashed ripe bananas, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla in a blender yields a smooth wet base, which is then mixed with oat flour, turmeric, baking powder, ground ginger, baking soda, and salt for a spiced yet natural batter. The addition of cacao nibs provides texture contrast and a slight bitter note against the sweetness.
Baking at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes creates muffins with a moist interior and slightly firm exterior. After cooling, they retain softness and can be enjoyed as a nutrient-rich snack or morning pastry alternative.
The use of natural sweeteners, gluten-free oat flour, and turmeric introduces healthful elements without overpowering the banana flavor. These muffins suit those who want mildly spiced baked goods with natural sweetness and texture variation from cacao nibs.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup dates halved and tightly packed (140 grams)
- 3/4 cup banana mashed (200 grams, ripe
- 1/2 cup almond milk unsweetened vanilla
- 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup oat flour gluten-free if needed (103g)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Turmeric ground
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cacao nibs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a muffin pan with cooking spray.
- In a large blender, add the dates, banana, milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla. Blend until smooth and combined, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the oat flour, turmeric, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, and salt. Add into the food processor and blend until smooth and combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Scrape the batter into a bowl and stir in the cacao nibs.
- Fill 6 muffin cavities with the batter; they will be pretty full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
