Peanut Butter Muffin. I have some ripe bananas I need to use. Furthermore, I decide to use bananas to make a peanut butter muffin. I can not forget my daughter’s favorite ingredient chocolate chips.

Peanut Butter Muffin

ingredients:

2 large brown bananas

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 egg

1/4 cup honey

4 tbsp. gluten-free four

1 tbsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup mini chocolate chip

Instructions:

First, turn on the oven at 400 degrees F.
At this time, with a large bowl add all the ingredients bananas, eggs, gluten-free flour, baking powder, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix.
Next, take a spatula to fold in chocolate chips.
Secondly, brush the oil on the muffin tin or place muffin liners in the baking pan.
Then, fold in the chocolate chips.
Finally, bake 12 – 14 minutes.

Tips to make the Muffin

Importantly, the peanut butter used should be soft. In particular, if you have fluffy muffins do allow egg and butter to sit at room temperature before baking. As a result, the oil used would be better than butter. Thus, the oil keeps the muffin extra most compare to butter.

Do try this muffin. If you enjoy the muffin, do try vegan omelet. I would love to try new dishes like no bake peanut butter bar.

Gluten-free Baking

Gluten-free flour does not act like regular flour. It does not keep the batter together. Without a doubt, need to have an experiment with different gluten-free flour mixture to hold the baked goods together. Low protein flour is rice, millet, and cornflower. High protein flour is made from legumes or beans. Do add protein flour when baking gluten-free baked goods instead of using water. Try using eggs instead of just using water. And, use xanthan gum or guar gum about 1/8 – 1/4 tsp to 1 cup of gluten-free flour. Do not add too much or the bread will be gummy.

Snack

These Coconut flour crepes are high in protein. The treats are nice and thin. Fantastic on the go snacks. An easy one would be with Nutella spread on the inside. Switch the crepe by changing the filling, how about using ricotta to make it creamy. To make a fun snack, let the children drizzle the chocolate syrup or strawberry syrup on top. Building their crepe would be very exciting and fun. Do try coconut flour crepes.

Do try soup good for the body like watercress soup you can have regularly to increase water intake. I would love to try more Chinese soups. And, I would love to try soups like Egg drop soup.
