Tender banana muffins with warm cinnamon-ginger spice - a comforting treat any time of day.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment liners or grease well with coconut oil.
In a large bowl, mash bananas until smooth. Add melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together cassava flour, tigernut flour, coconut flour, arrowroot, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about 2/3 full).
Bake for 22-25 minutes, until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Tips

The riper the bananas, the sweeter the muffins - look for very spotted or even black-skinned bananas
For extra texture, top with coconut flakes before baking
These are excellent split and toasted with coconut butter
Freeze for up to 3 months - reheat in 300°F oven for 10 minutes
Add 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries for extra sweetness

Notes

These tender, warmly-spiced muffins are perfect for breakfast or a snack. Ripe bananas provide natural sweetness while cinnamon and ginger add cozy warmth. They freeze beautifully - wrap individually and thaw at room temperature or warm briefly in the oven.
