WET Ingredients\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1\/4 cup oil (or applesauce for oil-free)
\n<\/span>1\/4 cup unsweetened applesauce\u00a0<\/span>
\n*2 eggs beaten
\n<\/span>3-4 (black) over-ripe bananas about 1-1\/3 cups
\n<\/span>1\/4 cup
\nButtermilk Substitute<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

put 1 tsp. vinegar in a measuring cup.
\nFill to 1\/4 cup line with coconut cream or
\nnon-dairy milk, let sit 5-10 minutes until thickened. .<\/span><\/p>\n

DRY Ingredients
\n<\/strong>1-3\/4 cups oat flour<\/span>
\n1\/2 cup tapioca (starch\/flour)<\/span>
\n1 tsp. xanthan gum\u00a0(optional, but helps it bind)<\/em><\/span>
\n1 teaspoon baking soda<\/span>
\n1 teaspoon baking powder
\n1\/4 teaspoon salt
\n
\nOPTIONAL: 1\/4 tsp nutmeg,
\n1 tsp. ground cinnamon
\nIf you wish<\/strong>
\n(up to 1\/2 cup coconut sugar)<\/span><\/p>\n

Instructions<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

(Usually, banana gives enough sweetness).
\n
\nSkip this if not adding sugar.
\nIf adding suga<\/strong>r:<\/strong>
\n<\/span>In a large bowl, beat sugar and oil together with an
\nelectric mixer until light and fluffy and well-combined.
\n<\/span>To beat by hand, use a deep bowl, tilted slightly, and a
\nwooden spoon.<\/span><\/p>\n

*To Add Extra Lightness
\nTo Muffins, Cakes, and Breads
\n<\/span><\/strong>Separate the eggs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Whip the egg whites. <\/span>Fold them in at the
\nend of the batter-making process. <\/span>This will add more lightness
\nto the muffins, especially if <\/span>you’re using oat flour.
\n<\/span>
\nIn a large bowl, <\/strong>whisk wet ingredients together first,\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>and set
\naside for 10 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 400\u00ba F,<\/strong> (175 degrees C)
\nGrease a muffin tin or line a muffin tin with oiled paper liners.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

In a new bowl
\n<\/span><\/strong>Stir together all remaining dry ingredients. <\/strong>I divide this in
\nhalf to include 1\/2 cup chopped dried fruit in 6 wells,
\nand 1\/2 cup chocolate chips in the other 6 wells.
\n(Add 1\/4 tsp cinnamon if you wish).
\n<\/strong><\/span>
\n\u00a0Pour dry into wet<\/strong>,
\nStir <\/span>until just evenly mixed (thick but not dough). Don’t overmix.
\nSpoon the batter into the greased wells or muffin liners, filling
\neach 3\/4 full. If batter is runny enough to pour, add more oat flour,
\na tablespoon-at-a-time, until thickened.<\/span><\/p>\n

The only problem<\/strong> I ever encountered with muffins is that they<\/span>
\nshrink or sink. It doesn’t harm them, but I don’t like how they<\/span>
\nlook. They do that when they have too much liquid.<\/span><\/p>\n

Place muffin tins on the center rack<\/strong>. Turn oven down to 350\u00baF<\/strong>
\nBake19-20 minutes or <\/span>until muffins have domed and a toothpick
\ninserted into the center of a <\/span>muffin comes out mostly clean.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Let cool. (I\u2019ve found that if you loosely <\/span>cover overnight, either on
\nthe counter or refrigerated, the liners then <\/span>peel off easily, and
\nflavor and texture are even better, too!)<\/span><\/p>\n

*An important and enjoyable contribution to gut health.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Pre-<\/em>biotics<\/strong> are live bacteria that improve gut health through <\/span>
\nthe microbiome and pro<\/em>-biotics<\/strong> are, essentially, food for these <\/span>
\nbacteria. Probiotics come from fermented foods and prebiotics <\/span>
\ncome from fiber. Studies show that the consumption of prebiotics <\/span>
\nand probiotics can effectively treat eczema in some people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sources of pre-<\/em>biotics include:<\/strong> legumes, oats, bananas, and
\nberries. <\/span>Foods high in pro<\/em>-biotics<\/strong> include sauerkraut, kimchi,
\nkefir, yogurt, and kombucha.
