1 ½ cups All-purpose gluten free flour

½ cup almond flour, sifted

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp sea salt (or Himalayan salt)

¼ cup extra-virgin organic coconut oil

2 Tbsp all-natural peanut butter

¾ cup pure maple syrup (preferably Grade B)

1 Tbsp finely grated orange peel (orange zest)

¾ cup fresh orange juice
(approx. 1 to 2 medium oranges)

2 tsp ground flaxseed or chia seed

1 cup thickly sliced banana, very ripe (approx. 1 large banana)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

¼ cup chopped fresh cherries or craisins

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°.
  2. Prepare 12 muffin cups by lining with muffin papers and lightly coating with spray.
  3. Combine flour, almond flour, baking powder, walnuts, and salt in a large mixing bowl; mix well. Set aside.
  4. Place oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, orange peel, orange juice, ground flaxseed, banana, and extract in blender; cover. Blend until smooth; approx. 30 seconds.
  5. Add peanut butter mixture to flour mixture; mix until just moistened. Do not overmix.
  6. Add cherries or craisins; fold until just mixed.
  7. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups. (One-quarter cup batter should fill each cup about three-quarters full.)
  8. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Remove from oven; allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before removing muffins from pan and cooling completely on a rack. Enjoy!
