Banana Muffins

Breakfasts were starting to all look alike around here. So, I thought it would be nice for a change. I started filtering through some of my favorite blogs for breakfast ideas. I came across a breakfast carnival at The Nourishing Gourmet and several other good ideas. I wrote a few down for the weekly menu plan to try out. Today, I tried this recipe for sprouted banana muffins by Cheeseslave. It originally calls for 3-4 bananas and also is for bread, not muffins. So, I adapted it slightly to fit my needs. Coincidentally, a regular recipe for banana muffins looks almost the same as the sprouted one. And they turned out great! You couldn’t really tell it was sprouted grain. This is great news if you’re in the swapping out AP flour for sprouted flour. Looks like I will be just using regular recipes for quick breads and subbing out the flours (among other unhealthy ingredients).

Here is the exact measurements I used for these muffins. It made about 11 muffins. Normally I would double or triple, but on a crash test, I just wanted to be sure it would turn out.
