Inspiration

Here is a delicious, flourless, gluten-free muffin recipe that uses carob to impart a rich chocolatey flavor.

HEALTHY CHOCOLATE ALTERNATIVE:
Carob is a legume from the seedpods of a flowering tree native to the Mediterranean and Middle East. It is naturally gluten-free, caffeine-free, richer in calcium and fiber, and lower in saturated fats than cocoa powder, making it an excellent substitute for cocoa powder in any recipe.

GLUTEN SENSITIVITIES:
Not all baking powders are gluten-free. Some may contain wheat starch, which contains gluten. Ensure the baking powder you buy is specifically labeled “gluten-free.”

Ingredients

Muffin Mixture

  • 6 (brown) bananas
  • 2 cups peanut butter
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 tbsp carob powder
  • 2 tsp gluten-free baking powder

Toppings

  • 1 cup carob chips
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
  • Sea salt flakes

Preparations

  1. Preheat oven to 365 degrees.
  2. Combine muffin mixture ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
  3. Scoop into prepared muffin trays (cooking spray or a touch of oil).
  4. Add toppings (we used carob chips, pumpkin seeds, and sea salt flakes).
  5. Bake for 25 minutes.
  6. Let muffins sit for a few minutes, then enjoy 🙂

Tips

  • Add any seeds or nuts you like; they’re gluten-free!
