Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free, Dairy-Free, Vegan Blueberry Apple Muffins

ingredients:

1/2 cup quinoa flour
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1 large banana
2 large apples
2 tbsp flaxseed meal
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/2 cup or more of frozen blueberries
2 tsp baking powder 

directions:
 
Did you know that you can actually make your own flour by grinding up grains or nuts in a blender or food processor? 

1. Put approximately 3/4 cup of a cup of quinoa into your blender/food processor WITHOUT WATER (or you will get a sticky mess) to make 1/2 cup flour. Blend it up to a powder and put it into a large bowl. 

2. Blend 1 3/4 cups almonds in the same way to make 1 1/2 cups of flour. Put that in the big bowl with the quinoa flour.

3. Combine the 2 tbsp of flaxseed meal with 6 tbsp of water and stir.  Let sit about 5 mins until it becomes gelatinous.  This will be substitute for 2 eggs.

4. Peel and cut up the two apples into chunks and do the same with the banana, and throw them in the blender. Add the flaxseed mixture. Blend it all up. 

5. Add this mixture to the flour in the bowl, along with the cinnamon and baking powder.  Fold in your frozen berries and stir well.

6. Allow mixture to sit while you preheat the oven to 400F and prepare the muffin tins with liners or spray. (I used silicone muffin liners, they are awesome.)

7. Spoon out the batter into the muffin trays. Only fill it to be level with the top of the tray – don’t overfill them as the muffins will rise up a little bit.

8. Bake them for approximately 20 minutes at or until the tops spring back when pressed lightly.

Finally, EAT and ENJOY!!
