Two dynamite recipes from Kim Thompson

BANANA MUFFINS

2 1/2 c. whole wheat pastry flour
2 T ground flaxseed
1 T baking soda
1/4 t. salt
1/8 t. ground cloves and ground ginger
1/4 t. ground cinnamon

Mix all dry ingredients together and set aside.

4 ripe bananas mashed well
1 large carrot grated fine and mixed into bananas - set aside

1/2 c. grape seed oil
1/2 c. Sucanat
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla

Whisk these wet ingredients together in large bowl. Add the flour a little at a time until incorporated. It will be very thick and dough-like. Mix in the banana mixture and divide into muffin pan. (Will make 12 regular muffins)

Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 15 - 20 min. Check after 15 with a toothpick. They are very moist. Optional: Add some of your favorite nuts or dark chocolate chips for a treat. Great for breakfast, in the kids' lunch box, or an after school snack.

BANANA SMOOTHIE

3 ripe bananas
4-5 T peanut butter (all natural creamy or chunky)
1 T ground flaxseed
2 T honey
1 c. skim or 1% milk
1 c. ice

Place all ingredients in a blender and puree well and serve. Optional: For an added calcium boost for kids, I put in 1/2 T Kal brand Dolomite Powder. Great for breakfast or a snack anytime. Related:
