Lisa Tries.. Christian's Strawberry Banana Muffins (well, not exactly)

Recipe: Christian's Strawberry Banana Muffins
Cookbook: George Stella's Real Food, Real Easy



What you need:
3/4 cup almond flour (I made my own)
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
4 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar substitute
2 tbsp transfree margarine
1.5 tspn banana extract
1 tspn baking powder
3/4 cup chopped strawberries (I used blackberries, rinses, and patted dry)


What to do:
Preheat oven to 375.  Mix all ingredients except the berris in a bowl with a wooden spoon (I used my mixer on low) until blended well.  Add berries by folding in with a spoon.  Fill each muffin cups with batter and bake for about 25 mins.  Remove and let sit for a about five mins, serve.

I liked them!  Sweet and the muffin part was really nice.  The muffin part stuck to the muffin cup things so maybe next time I will not use them.  I will try with strawberries or blueberries too. 

Calories 216, protein 8.5, carbs 16. To make gluten free just double the almond flour.

Ok, I cooked and I baked and I washed dozen of bowls and pans and utensils.  I think that should do it 'til the weekend. :) Oooh, not, I planned on making a chicken recipe from this book again later and need to cook before the chicken goes bad.






I love you my pistachio colored KitchenAid.
