My travvy boy is obsessed with Starbucks’ banana nut bread. I had a bunch of bananas about to go bad so I attempted to make our own banana nut bread. I make him blender spinach muffins (SO easy) so I thought; let’s try banana bread in the blender, too. They turned out so well & trav approves! (If you’re making them with regular flour omit the xanthan gum) Chocolate chips would be yummy too! Feel free to omit the nuts according to your preference!
Ingredients
2 cups flour ( I used an all purpose gf flour)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp xanthan gum
1 egg
1 1/8 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil (I used canola)
2 Tbs almond milk
1 Tbs vanilla
3 ripe bananas
2, 2.25 ounce bags of chopped walnuts
Sprinkle of brown sugar (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Add all wet ingredients to the blender and blend on medium speed until combined.
- All all dry ingredients to blender (with the exception of the walnuts). Blend on a slow speed until combined. Mix one packet of walnuts in by hand.
- Pour batter into cupcake pan. These silicone cupcake liners are a game changer.
- Use the second bag of walnuts to top each muffin and sprinkle a pinch of brown sugar over each muffin.
- Bake for 23-26 minutes until golden and cooked through.
