Whole Grain Banana Muffins

So I got an email from my good friend the other night with a recipe for a muffin recipe she had made that day. She’s a friend who I like to discuss food and food storage with often, so I trust her on food stuff. I had 2 bananas that were on their way to “I WONT EAT THAT, THOSE ARE YUCKY” status so I decided I would make these. I WAS THRILLED with the results. These yummy things don’t have any oil, or white sugar, or white flour in them. She said she got the recipe from Whole Food Mommies. I’m gonna have to dive into that site a little more.

The recipe called for brown rice flour, but I decided to try the Wonder Flour Jodi used in her cookie recipe here.

We found out about wonder flour from Chef Brad. He is the king of grains. Anytime we have a question about grains we check out his site.

How to Make Chef Brad’s “WonderFlour”

1. Measure out 2 cups each of brown rice, pearled barley, and spelt.
2. Pour grains into your favorite wheat grinder (we LOVE our WonderMills!)
3. Use in place of white flour in any recipe, adding about 1/2 cup extra flour per 3 cups of flour called for in the recipe.
4. Enjoy the added fiber and nutrition you are feeding your family, even in delicious treats
