Ingredients

  • 1 cup spelt flour
  • 1 cup barley flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 ripe bananas, peeled
  • 3 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
  • 12 cup apple juice (more, if necessary)
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 zucchini, finely grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 12 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 12 cup raisins

Method

  • **I usually buy an entire bundle of bananas and because not all of them get eaten right away, once they ripen, I put them in the freezer until ready for use.
  • I usually take them out a few hours prior to using in a recipe.
  • Works well for banana bread too.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees .
  • Prepare muffin pan with 12 cup liners.
  • Whisk together spelt, barley, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Place the bananas, blackstrap molasses, apple juice, and apple cider vinegar in a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Mix the wet and dry ingredients together, then fold in the zucchini, walnuts, and raisins.
  • (If necessary, use an extra 1-2 tablespoons of apple juice to wet all of the flour).
  • Divide mixture evenly into the 12 lined muffin cups, and bake for 20 minutes, or until the top springs back to the touch.
  • Remove muffins from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
  • Store in an airtight container or freeze in individual freezer bags to pull out and put into lunches as needed.
