Good Enough to Wheat

Hello everyone, and welcome to Good Enough to Wheat, a site completely dedicated to altering and creating recipes that cater to common dietary restrictions. Specifically, this blog will host recipes for gluten and lactose free foods and confections. In most dishes, substitutions can be made to make the recipe vegan or paleo as well.

Recently, I’ve noticed a significant increase in gf (gluten free) lf (lactose free) diets. While some people stay away from these ingredients for health reasons, i.e. Celiac Disease, Chron’s Disease, others are simply avoiding those ingredients as a way to shed a few pounds.

No matter what your reason for going gf, lf Good Enought to Wheat is here to help. Despite popular opinion, gf, lf, paleo or vegan food does NOT have to be boring. In fact, when done right, it’s BETTER than that regular old gluten filled stuff.  In coming weeks these recipes will be shared on Good Enought to Wheat for your use and enjoyment.

This week’s recipe: Four Ingredient Chocolate Banana Muffins. They're so easy and delicious you’ll be sorry you ever found out about them. Because now you will crave these muffins, all of the time.

Ingredients:

2 Large ripe bananas

1 Cup creamy peanut butter (paleo sub: all natural)

1/3 Cup unsweetened coco powder

1/4 Cup of honey (vegan sub: maple syrup)

1/2 Cup chocolate chips (optional)

Directions:

-Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

-Grease a muffin tin with cooking or baking spray, or line it with cupcake liners.

-Place the peeled bananas in a medium mixing bowl. Using a fork, mash the bananas until they it almost liquefied with a few lumps still left in the bowl.

-Add the creamy peanut butter to the bowl. Tip: it helps to heat the peanut butter up in the microwave for a bit before adding it to the batter.

-Combine the honey (or maple syrup) with the other wet ingredients, mixing until smooth.

-While continuing to stir the mixture, gradually add the coco powder to the batter.

-Keep stirring until all the powder is thoroughly mixed through the batter.

-If you are choosing to use chocolate chips, mix into the batter now.

-Divide the batter into the tin and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

-The muffins are done when a toothpick can be cleanly removed from them.

Enjoy!
