Blueberry Banana Muffins
makes 1 dozen

1 cup pureed banana
1/3 c. canola oil
½ c. unsweetened apple juice concentrate, thawed
1 T. water
¼ c. light agave nectar
¼ c. raw agave nectar (or just use all one type of agave)
2 c. gluten-free flour blend
1 t. baking soda
2 egg whites, beaten to soft peaks
¾ c. fresh or frozen blueberries – frozen blueberries need to be thawed in a strainer and drained of any excess juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12 tin muffin pan with paper liners.   Spray papers lightly with cooking spray.

Put flour blend and baking soda in a flour sifter and sift.

In a large bowl, stir together banana, oil, apple juice concentrate, and water. Set aside.

Whip egg whites starting on low speed. Once they break up and begin to foam, increase speed to medium and continue to beat until they are whipped to soft peaks. Set aside.

Quickly dump the entire contents of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. Then, take ¼ of the egg whites and stir them into the batter until just combined. Fold in the remaining whites in two additions. Finally, gently fold thawed and drained blueberries into the batter.

Put ¼ cup of batter into each paper liner. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. These muffins are best the day they are made. Refrigerate any uneaten muffins in an airtight container.
