Recipe:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2 ripe bananas

2 c frozen organic berries

3 cups rolled oats

2 cups buckwheat groats

1 cup almond flour

3/4 cup chia seeds dry

1/2 cup flax or sunflower seeds

1/2 cup apple pectin powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

1/2 cup Turbinado or dehydrated cane juice

1/2 c coconut oil

1tbs vanilla extract

Cinnamon

Nutmeg

Allspice

Ginger

1/2 cup cacao bits (optional)

1/2 cup walnuts or pecans (optional)

Coconut water   (enough to make sticky dough, usually 1-2 cups)

Add oats and other dry ingredients to almond flour, blend thoroughly. Blend bananas with sugar, oil, spices, then add to combined dry ingredients. Add coconut water until dough is difficult to stir but pasty. Fold in frozen berries.

Bake at 350 until brown and toothpick comes out clean, about 30-40 minutes.

Eat them warm for best taste and ‘butter them with coconut oil and a sprinkle of cinnamon to add another layer of flavor and some extra brain-food. They turn out moist and firm like a great muffin should, but are packed with fiber and nutrients to get your day started right. Get some morning thunder with Gruffins : )
