banana-walnut muffins

today we have baked some deliciously sweet and healthy muffins to deliver to our wonderful & charismatic neighbours! munch on these omega-3 rich, potassium filled treats!

makes around 6 muffins

ingredients:

3 medium-sized overripe bananas

3 Tbsp olive oil

1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 cup spelt flour

1 1/2 cup wholemeal flour

2/3 to 3/4 cup brown sugar (use your judgment for how sweet you like food as you'll already be getting a lot of sweetness from the bananas!)

1 tsp baking soda

1 Tbsp LSA mix

1 "egg"

generous sprinkle of cinnamon

1/3 cup soymilk (or more, depending on how mushy bananas are!)

1/2 cup walnuts, rather finely chopped

directions:
1. mash up bananas with olive oil and apple cider vinegar
2. add in rest of ingredients, bit by bit, & mix well until all combined!
3. you are looking for a sticky, slightly wet consistency, so if the mix is too dry, add a little more soymilk! if too wet, add a little more flour
4. once all mixed up, spoon into muffin tins & back for 15-20 minutes in a 200 C oven!
