 I recently had this major craving for banana nut muffins, and so these refined sugar-free delights were born! These babies are made with organic, whole wheat flour. And they are sweetened with organic maple sugar! For those of you who don't know, maple sugar is basically just dried maple syrup, and so it's important that you find a brand that is 100% pure and organic so that we can stay away from extra additives and chemicals that are harmful to our bodies. Otherwise, maple syrup is a sweetener that is full of nutrients that your body will love you for! This is why maple sugar is a great sugar substitute and can be used for all of your baked delights! Healthy Banana Nut Muffins!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt 3 ripe bananas (mashed) 1/2 cup organic maple sugar 1 egg 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 cup butter (melted) Topping: 1/4 cup maple sugar 2 Tbs. whole wheat flour 2 Tbs. oats 1/3 cup chopped walnuts (or you can use your nut of choice) Directions:

 I often find the kitchen as my refuge in times where my mental health feels like it's close to crumbling. I suffer from serious winter depression that I haven't figured out how to avoid yet, and so I found myself in the kitchen tonight in attempts to cope with the elephant weighing on my heart. Baking clears my head and brings me great joy! Especially when I'm focused on healthy conversion of unhealthy recipes. A delicious healthy recipe requires concentration, thus giving me something to think about other than my anxieties and heartaches. Yay for food being the answer to remedy mental health! This recipe was a sudden inspiration! I found this recipe in an old collection of family recipes, and remembered it as one of my favorites as a child. The only problems is that it called for white flour and lots of sugar. And I'm sure we weren't exactly baking with organic ingredients back then! The good news is that I was able to convert this delicious recipe into a healthy alternative, organic, and refined-sugar free, as always! Raspberry Cream Muffins!
Ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat flour 1/2 cup classic Lakanto monkfruit sweetener 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 2 cups frozen raspberries 2 eggs (beaten) 1/2 cup raw honey 1 cup sour cream 1/2 cup healthy oil (I used grapeseed oil, but you can also use coconut oil or avocado oil) 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract Streusel Topping: 3 Tbs. whole wheat flour 3 Tbs. quick oats 2 Tbs. classic Lakanto monkfruit sweetener 1/4 tsp. cinnamon 2 Tbs. butter (cold) Directions:
*Makes about 18 muffins.

Welcome to My Kitchen!
Food is one of the greatest forms of science, art, medicine, and sustenance all at the same time! It's what feeds our lives and pumps through our blood. It's what connects us and what gives us energy to fulfill our purpose. It is for that reason that I have a deep passion for discovering, cooking, and eating only the most nutrient dense foods. In my kitchen, we only use organic, whole ingredients that feed the body, as well as the mind and soul. My hope is to inspire healing through healthy AND delicious food that feeds not only our stomachs, but also our hunger for connection and quality of life.
