From Chef AJ’s fabulous new cookbook—Sweet Indulgence. These PCRM muffins are loaded with flavor including bananas, applesauce, walnuts and chocolate chips. Gluten, oil, and sugar free muffins check all the boxes for delicious yet healthy desserts.
Makes 12 muffins
Preheat oven to 350 F. Place oats in a large bowl and add the other dry ingredients.
Puree bananas in a food processor fitted with the “S” blade until smooth. Add the applesauce, date syrup and vinegar and process again until combined. Pour over dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do nut overmix. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
Evenly distribute the batter (a retractable ice cream scoop works well), using a 12-cavity silicone muffin pan, or 12 cavity muffin tin lined with cupcake liners, and bake for 40-45 minutes until a tooth-pick inserted in the center comes clean. There may be some melted chocolate on the toothpick but be sure there is no batter.
