INGREDIENTS
(makes 9 mini loaves or 12 standard muffins)
1 1/2 cup all-purpose gluten-free or cassava flour (I like the Bob’s Red Mill Brand)
3/4 cup blanched almond flour
1/2 cup brown sugar (or Lakanto Golden sweetener for lower carb option)
3 tbsp chia seeds
2 oranges, zested (or 3 clementines)
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 cup avocado oil
1/2 cup milk (may need 1-2 tbsp more)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
PROCEDURE
- Line 9 mini loaf tins or a 12-cup muffin tray, and preheat your oven to 350º F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the two flours, sugar, and chia seeds.
- Add in the zest and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, milk, and orange juice. Add into the bowl with the flour mixture. Using a spatula, mix until combined, adding a splash more milk if the mixture is too dry. The batter should be thick but scoopable.
- Divide the mixture evenly into your loaf tins or muffin cups, tap your tins to spread the mixture evenly. Top with blueberries and bake for 15-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the loaves or muffins cool completely on a cooling rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
A delicious plant-based one-pot meal.
