Banana Walnut Chia Muffins

3 Bananas (can be ripe or yellow)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup apple sauce
1/4 cup raw honey (can be less if you dont want them too sweet)
Flax style egg - a little less than a 1/4 cup flax meal filling the rest with warm water.
(let flax egg sit for a while, will be like a jelly constancy when you add it in)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 and a half teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (can be less)
1/3 cup GF flour mix (Cooqi, Better Batter, Pillsbury, Bob's Redmill, etc)
1/3 cup buckwheat flour (naturally gluten free)
1/3 cup gluten free oats
1/3 cup chia seeds
1/4 to 1/3 cup walnuts
and a small amount of allergen free chocolate chips if you so desire.

I mix the Bananas, oil, apple sauce, honey and vanilla first, than i throw everything else in except the walnuts and chocolate mix and add those last.

baked at 350 for 15ish minutes, check with a toothpick

Stella can't have Banana's right now so I made them while she was at Grandpa and Grandmas over the weekend. SO I have muffins for ME, also I made an un measured ingredients version for work on Friday and the girls at work loved them! I like how life without sugar can still be sweet!

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

• 1 cup Cooqi Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
• ¼ cup Flax Meal
• ¼ cup Buckwheat Flour (buckwheat is gluten free)
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• ¼ cup coconut sugar
• 1 Tablespoon raw honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup shredded zucchini (about 1 medium, squeeze all water out)
• 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
• ½ cup coconut milk
• ½ cup regular or mini enjoy life allergy free chocolate chips

Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl

In mixer bowl combine all other ingredients, zucchini second to last and then chocolate chips.

bake at 350 for about 15 minutes, check with a toothpick, I am not great at setting a timer so that is an approximate time. I measure a 1/4 of a cup per muffin. Spray pan with oil, if using muffins liners lightly spray those too. 

Stella is Sensitive

My Daughter Stella, has challenged my baking abilities, she has challenged my thinking and changed my way of eating,

SO far.. Stella is sensitive to : Gluten, dairy, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, almonds, strawberries, yeast and sugar.
Because she has too much yeast in her body right now, her digestion isn't firing on all cylinders. Sugar and sugary things feed yeast. so for now she also can't have : grapes, melon, beets and over ripe bananas..also nothing pickled, no canned veggies or fruits, beans, fermented meat like ham, nitrate bacon, sausage, hot dogs and lunch meat.. also pure maple syrup and doing our best to stay away from starchy veggies.

So as you can see.. it isnt an easy task. But it is my challange, And I believe I am somehow succeeding at it.

I created this blog to share recipes I make for those who are curious and to help explain all I do,

I am on Pinterest and find many recipes on there, but just about everyone I have to tweek a bit.
I search primarily for Paleo, Whole30, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Sugar Free, Vegan.

Welcome to my world :) Stella's world #StellaStyle
