Amazing Applesauce Muffins and Vanilla Glaze


Amazing Applesauce Muffins
½ cup quinoa flour
½ barley flour
1 cup whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour
1/3 cup Truvia
1 can unsweetened applesauce
½ cup water
½ tsp cardamom
¼ tsp coriander
¼ tsp ginger
½ tsp salt
1 Tbsp aluminum free baking powder
2 ripe bananas
1 cup raisins
2/3 cup chopped nuts
Vanilla Glaze
Combine all ingredients except raisins, nuts, and vanilla glaze in a medium bowl. Beat with electric mixer until just well combined (do not overmix). Pour batter into muffin pans that have been coated with coconut oil, about two thirds full. Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 F, or until they are lightly golden, firm (not hard), and toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Drizzle with Vanilla Glaze, if desired.
Vanilla Glaze
2 Tbsp coconut oil
¼ cup Truvia
2 Tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla
1-2 Tbsp cold water
Combine oil, Truvia, honey, and vanilla in a small saucepan. When it is well mixed and becomes hot, add the water a little at a time until a nice glaze begins to form. Cook for one or two minutes, then drizzle over muffins. Allow to cool.
