Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
  • approx 1.5-2 cups of garbanzo bean flour
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp of ground cinnamon for batter and another tsp for apple mixture
  • ⅓ cup dry oats
  • 1-2 tbsp ground flax seed
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds + ¼ cup filtered water (stir and let sit in fridge for 5 mins to get a chia egg)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 ripe banana
  • ¼-1/3 c. pumpkin puree
  • non-dairy milk as needed (typically around ½ cup)
  • 1 medium sized Gala apple, cored and diced (I left the skin on; any type of red apple is fine)
  • 1 tbsp vegan butter
  • splash of maple syrup (optional)
  • coconut sugar to taste (around ¼ c)
  • splash of vegan sweetened condensed milk (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375. Make chia egg and put in fridge. Melt butter in a pan on medium heat, then add diced apples and let simmer until soft and browning. Add some cinnamon and splash of maple syrup halfway through.
  2. Combine flour, salt, cinnamon, flax seed, and oats in large bowl.
  3. In separate small bowl, mash the banana then stir in pumpkin puree. I like to add a little of the milk to thin out the texture.
  4. Add wet mixture to dry ingredients, along with the rest of the milk and the coconut oil. Combine well, then fold in chia egg.
  5. Add sauteed apples to the mixture, then sweeten to taste (as the apples will naturally sweeten). I splashed in some sweetened condensed milk (which also seems to give fluffier, lighter texture) and added in a little coconut sugar at a time, tasting, to make sure it wasn't overly sweet.
  6. Use muffin liners or apply coconut oil to muffin tin. Spoon in mixture, but don't fill to very top. Bake for about 22-25 minutes, but check on it after 20 mins.
