For the last 2 weeks I’ve been meaning to experiment with Gluten-Free banana and\/or squash bread.\u00a0 Today, I decided to bite the proverbial bullet as I stared at my poor sad little yellow squash and wrinkled apples, the last of my summer CSA share (other than the intensely spicy celery, which the guinea pigs are sloooowly making their way through).<\/p>\n

I looked through all kinds of GF recipes on the web, and all of them seemed to be comprised primarily of sugar.\u00a0 Finally, I branched out and found this recipe <\/a>by Elise, and modified it to fit the ingredients I had.\u00a0 The result was excellent.\u00a0 My son and hubby both thought they were as good as or better than wheat muffins I’ve made in the past.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I used.\u00a0 These are called “Kitchen Sink” muffins based on the ole’ “Everything but the kitchen sink” saying; you basically can use whatever vegies\/fruit combination you have, and whatever add-ins appeal to you, and adjust the liquid accordingly.\u00a0 For the flour, experiment with whatever brand of GF flour mix you have; the one I have is no longer in production.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • (vegies\/fruit should total 3 cups)<\/li>\n
  • 1.5 cups grated yellow squash<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup banana, mashed<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup carrot, shredded<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup chopped, peeled apple (old and wrinkled is fine)<\/li>\n
  • 2\/3 cup melted coconut oil and\/or butter (I used some of each)<\/li>\n
  • 1 1\/3 cup brown sugar<\/li>\n
  • 3 eggs, beaten (original recipe calls for 2 but I needed more liquid. Use two if you use more banana)<\/li>\n
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla<\/li>\n
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 teaspoon baking powder<\/li>\n
  • Pinch salt<\/li>\n
  • 2 cups Performance blend flour mix**<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup Sorghum flour<\/li>\n
  • 1.5 tsp guar gum (or xantham gum)<\/li>\n
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 teaspoon nutmeg<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup milk, if needed at end<\/li>\n
  • 2 cups add-ins: raisins, nuts, etc.\u00a0 I used 1 c raisins, 1\/2 c coconut, and 1\/2 c chocolate chips<\/li>\n
  • Muffin papers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    **The Performance Blend flour is a blend of Tapioca Starch, White Rice Flour, Whole Navy Bean Flour, Sweet Rice Flour and Xanthan Gum.\u00a0 If you mix your own flours or use rice flour, add 1 tsp or more xantham or guar gum per cup of flour<\/span><\/p>\n

    Directions<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

    Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). In a large bowl, mix together or beat the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add melted butter and mix thoroughly, then stir in shredded fruit\/vegetables.\u00a0 In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. Add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture. If needed, add a bit more flour or milk until batter is a thick gloppy paste. Fold in the add-ins.<\/p>\n

    Put muffin papers into pan. Use a spoon to fill the muffin cups close to top edge. Bake on the middle rack until toothpick comes clean, about 25 to 30 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
