Overview
- Preparation time 10 min
- Cooking time 30 min in muffin tray, 45-50 min in a glass loaf pan
- Makes approximately 15-20 muffins or one 13cm x 23cm loaf
Method
- Preheat oven to 180ºC for a fan forced oven. Line a 12-cup muffin tray with bleach free patty pans.
- If using the activated raw almonds, grind on speed 9 for 10 seconds in the thermomix, or until a fine powder forms in any food processor or powerful blender. Remove and set aside.
- Add zucchini and bananas and mix in the thermomix speed 5, 5 seconds.
- Add the egg, cinnamon, vanilla, coconut oil, honey, milk, gelatin, psyllium and mix until combined (thermomix, speed 5, 15 seconds)
- Add all the dry ingredients, including the set aside almond flour (excluding the walnuts or choc bits) and mix until just combined, thermomix speed 5, 20 seconds).
- Add in the walnuts/choc bits and mix in thermomix reverse speed for 5 seconds.
- Scoop into patty pans, about 1/3 a cup per muffin. Or pour all the mixture into a well-greased 23 cm x 13 cm glass loaf pan. I find the glass loaf pan cooks more evenly than a steel one but it is a personal preference.
- Bake for 30 minutes for the muffin tray, 45-50 minutes for a loaf pan. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. These freeze very well. Handy to pull one out for breakfast in the morning!
