It’s Friday and I have another gluten-free muffin recipe for you for March Muffin Madness (MMM), plus some more wonderful giveaway prizes!
Nut Butter, Banana, and Jam Muffins from Pocketfuls
Lisa of Pocketfuls sure creates some delicious and healthy muffins. For MMM, she’s sharing these Nut Butter, Banana, and Jam Muffins. Don’t they look great?
Lisa actually collaborated with her son to create this recipe. Her boys were home on Spring Break so she took advantage of her younger one’s muffin ideas! You can use any nut butter or jam per your preferences in Lisa’s muffins. Her recipe also uses almond flour and certified gluten-free oats—her favorite flour combination— and is gluten free, dairy free, egg free, and vegan.
Some of Lisa’s other gluten-free muffin recipes are:
Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins,
Oatmeal Cinnamon Mini Muffins, and
Lisa also participated in our last MMM event. You can now find that muffin recipe, delightful Banana Split Muffins, on her blog.
Before you head off to see Lisa’s Nut Butter, Banana, and Jam Muffins recipe, please check out today’s daily giveaway below.
Today’s Daily Giveaway
~ The No Biggie Bunch Children’s Book Series (5 books, 1 winner for each)
The No Biggie Bunch books were specifically written for children and their caregivers “for creatively coping with food allergies.” I am a huge fan of children’s books and am happy to see more books aimed at children with celiac, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and food allergies/intolerances coming on the market. I had heard about these books previously, but only briefly so I was happy to meet Heather from The No Biggie Bunch Team back in November while attending a bloggers’ conference. We chatted about these cute books with the positive messages. I told her how pleased I was to see more children’s books dealing with food issues being published. Of course, I asked her if she’d be willing to share these books with my gfe readers and she immediately said yes! These books get outstanding reviews so I hope you’ll give them a look and enter the giveaway for them.
The books are:
~ Sports-tatic Birthday Party Book
~ Everyday Cool with Food Allergies

March 18, 2016 at 1:50 pmWhat a creative idea for a muffin! Love the creativity of it! I do believe on the next rainy day (as in, most likely tomorrow) my house will be filled with the scent of freshly baked muffins! And I would love to win any or all of the prizes 😉

March 19, 2016 at 8:07 amThe No Biggie Bunch series of books are really cute. I won them in another blogger’s contest last year. I don’t have kids so I took them to the Celiac Support group I go to in PA and then from there we found a young child to give them to. If I win these books again I would find someone with kids with allergies to give them to. All these recipes have me drooling! Can’t wait to try a few of these muffin recipes.

March 19, 2016 at 9:10 amHaving had friends with children with allergies, I can see how these books would be appreciated by a family in those shoes. Lovely giveaway.

March 22, 2016 at 6:31 pmDee–There’s a solution to pretty much every allergy problem when it comes to recipes. Substitute sunbutter for the nut butter and use another fruit puree in this case. Also, when a recipe calls for almond flour vs almond butter, use seed flour. You can easily make your own sunflower seed flour or pumpkin seed flour. You do have to make sure your seeds are nut free, of course, but you can grind the safe seeds up in a food processor (just don’t over process or you’ll get seed butter) or you can use a spice grinder. Many recipes call for a small amount of nut flour and it’s a quick and easy sub in that case, but even when a cup or more is called for, it shouldn’t take long. Think of the door you have opened for new recipes with these subs! 🙂

March 22, 2016 at 10:04 pmI love the idea of a PB&J type muffin! I don’t use oats, so I wonder if coconut flour might work as a substitution.
Shirley Braden says
March 22, 2016 at 10:23 pmHi Stephanie–I usually sub in quinoa flakes for oats and sometimes coconut. Not sure how either of those would work flavor wise in this recipe and certainly the latter would give a very different result than oats. I suggest clicking over to Lisa’s post and asking her there what her thoughts on coconut flour are as I’m not sure she’s following this post.
