Easy gluten-free muffin recipe

Hi everyone,

So this year seems to have started out crazier than last year!  I hope you all had a wonderful Easter with family, friends or just chilling out and eating some delicious treats.  

I finally got round to doing some baking and actually found a gluten-free muffin recipe that is pretty good so thought I should share it:

The things I like about the recipe are:

• the use of an apple as well as the bananas for sweetness plus some maple syrup - I got away with 70g

• oil instead of butter for people with a dairy intolerance

• almond meal and chopped walnuts for added protein, minerals and fibre

• cinnamon and nutmeg for flavour - although I reckon you could add more!

The authors mentioned they use a gluten-free flour with xanthan gum to help with the texture and binding things together.  My flour didn't have xanthan gum so I used 1.5 teaspoons of psyllium husk instead and that worked well.  You could of course use normal flour - I think wholemeal would be nice in this recipe.

The recipe is based on a thermomix but if you have a food processor or are used to baking I'm sure you can easily convert it.  Might be a good one to get the kids help with in the school holidays!

Happy baking (and filling little tummies!)
