I needed to use up some old bananas so I decided to make banana muffins. While adapting my Grandma’s recipe to make it gluten free, I decided to make a few other changes to make it a little healthier. I substituted applesauce for the oil, and replaced the sugar with honey. The changes do not detract at all from the banana flavor. Since this recipe is gluten-free and dairy-free, I have decided to submit it to this month’s edition of Go Ahead Honey, It’s Gluten Free! The Cream of the Crop: Dairy-Free Delights.

Dry  Ingredients:
1 cup of sorghum flour
1 3/4 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup potato starch
1/4 cup tapioca flour
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Wet Ingredients:
1/2 cup honey
2 beaten eggs
1 cup almond milk (you can use rice or real milk)
1/2 cup applesauce
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas

Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl sift or whisk dry ingredients together. Make a well in the center.

2. In a medium bowl, mix wet ingredients together.

3. Pour the banana mixture into the well. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy). At this point you could add 1 cup of chopped nuts if you like.

4. Spoon into lightly greased muffin pan. Fill each cup 2/3 full. Bake at 400 degrees for 18 – 22 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Makes 2 dozen.

N.B. These freeze well.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
