Mega Banana Muffin (gluten, dairy and sugar free)

Single Serving recipes are a favorite of mine. One reason is because I can try something to see if I like it before I use up any of my favorite THM ingredients in a large batch!  Some folks are also on plan on their own at home or are single and don't need big amounts. So, I love doing single servings for me and for many of you who enjoy one portion. I'm going to post up a bigger recipe next week for a batch of muffins. megabananamuffinThe new Trim Healthy Mama Baking Blend has seriously changed my life in the kitchen!  I may be a bit dramatic about it, but let me tell you it's good stuff.  For a gluten free girl, a dream.  The fact that it's a Fuel Pull and can go in any setting is wonderful as well.  I have made some of the best muffin in a mug recipes in the past week with The Blend.   This new muffin is my favorite so far.  I have never had a more moist and delicious Energizing muffin yet!  To kick it up a notch, I added some Peanut Butter Glaze over the top made with THM Peanut Flour.  If you don't love a banana and peanut butter combo, it's just as scrumptious without. Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup of egg whites or carton egg whites
  • 2 Tbs. of unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup of THM Baking Blend or 1/4 cup oat flour(ground oats)
  • 1 Tbs of THM Super Sweet Blend or 2 Tbs of Truvia
  • 1 tsp of vanilla
  • 1 tsp of coconut oil or butter(soften the butter)
  • 1 tsp of baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 a banana chopped in little pieces
  • 1/4 tsp of cinnamon
Directions: Add the wet ingredients to a small mixing bowl and stir them together.  I then added the dry ingredients and mixed well until it wasn't lumpy.  Lastly, I added the chopped banana.  You can use 1/3 to 1/2 a banana in this recipe. I used 1/2 of a banana and it wasn't even an over-ripe banana.  I chopped it up small.  I baked mine in the oven at 350 for 20-23 minutes.  I used a cute little pan I found at my local thrift store.  You could try another muffin size pan, but this was a bit bigger than a normal size muffin pan. If you use a muffin pan, you may want to split it into two muffins so it doesn't spill out.   You could try the microwave, but I'm sure it will take a bit to cook.  I'd start with 2 minutes and keep my eye on it. The glaze- 1 Tbs of Peanut Flour, a little unsweetened almond milk and some THM Sweet Blend.   I just mixed it together and poured it over the top.  Water may work as well.  This is just optional, but I liked it.

  2. Then add the dry ingredients and mixed well until it wasn't lumpy.
  3. Lastly, I added the chopped banana. You can use 1/3 to 1/2 a banana in this. I used 1/2 of a banana and it wasn't even an over-ripe banana. I chopped it up small.
  4. I baked mine in the oven at 350 for 20-23 minutes.

I hope this gives you a new E option for a snack or for breakfast!  Just pair it with some extra lean protein.  If you can do dairy, some 0% greek yogurt would be nice.  Without dairy, I often do a Fuel Pull style protein shake with my E's if I don't want to eat some lean meat. Options:  Some will want to know what to try instead of the Baking Blend.  I have NOT tried this recipe with another flour.  I will assume you can try 1/4 cup of oat flour.  You can give it a shot if you want to try it.  Oat flour is simply ground up oats made into flour and can be used in an E setting. Note:  Bananas are fine in a E setting on THM.  Stick to 1/2 or less of a banana.  It's a nice occasional treat in muffins, cakes, etc. Looking for other recipes to try using the new THM Baking Blend?  I have a few others that I hope will try! I'll try to get the full batch of muffins written up next week! Pin: Mega Banana Muffin

    Does the back of THM Baking Blend give the ingredients so we can use our own mix until we are able to buy some? Thanks!

    • godzgaljen@gmail.com

      It does on the website, yes. 🙂

      • Dalene Stasak

        There are baking blend recipes on the internet. I googled it and there is one with the same ingredients as listed on the THM baking blend bag. I can’t remember the blogger, but she tested hers with a recipe and she made the same recipe with theirs and showed photos and they looked just the same. I make my own with that recipe all the time. I only ordered the THM baking blend once. You save at LEAST $1 a bag making your own, plus the shipping (which is really expensive!)

          Thats Nili barrets recipe. It’s the best baking mix I ever tried, I sub protein powder for the collagen though, because it’s to expensive, and it still works great

  2. Cynthia Litchfield

    Thank you for the recipe using the new baking blend…and thank you for having the recipe printable.

  3. Donna Towns

  4. Deanna Bingham

  5. Rebecca

  6. Rohini

    Hi has anyone tried this with oat flour i dont have the baking blend thanks a lot want to try some e cakes

    • godzgaljen@gmail.com

      Yes! It’s just as nice with all oat flour! I use oat flour a lot now in muffins that are “E” when it calls for Baking Blend.

  7. Rohini

    MINE was like cake at the ends and inside was like a pudding not cake texture….i baked it longer too…I like the taste and the sides just not the center what can i do to make it like a cake thanks a lot

  8. Nikki

    Oooo, I’m gonna go make this right now! Think I might add a little caramel extract, too…mmmm….

  9. Ellen

    Where did you find that mini single bundt (muffin) pan?

  10. Marilyn

    This will sound silly but since it serves 1, (I have never seen a 1 muffin pan before) I have a bunt muffin pan that makes 6. So I am assuming if I want to make 6 at a time I need to X6 all the ingredients or does this mess up the recipe?

  11. Kit

    as a person with nut allergies, I can’t follow the easy path of using a blend. Glad someone stated they can use the oat flour, that helps. Please remember us with allergies to nuts when you can, we like new recipes too, thank you
