Notes
I use large and extra large muffin cups by If You Care, made with unbleached parchment paper.
Ripe bananas are a must. They create the proper moisture for the recipe and provide the natural sweetness. Your bananas should have some brown spots. I used 5 small bananas for this recipe.
These muffins are made with cassava flour, and are less moist because there is not gluten in the batter.
With cassava flour, the muffins will bake in the shape you add the batter to the muffin tins. Smooth the batter out or shape it to your liking.
I soaked my walnuts in water for 4-hours, which removes phytates and improves your ability to digest nuts. I suggest soaking nuts before using them for baking, cooking or eating them in any way.
