Egg-Free Pecan-Banana Muffins (Chicken binder)

Which comes first, the chicken or the egg? Well, if your kid can't eat eggs, then it is most definitely the chicken!! Raw, pureed chicken makes a great replacement for eggs in muffin batter.

5 Cups SCD Flour (I use 3 cups Pecan, 2 cups Pumpkin Seed)
2 tsp Baking Soda
4 RIPE bananas pureed with 1 tsp baking soda
1 cup pureed squash (butternut, acorn)
6 ounces pear puree
2 ounces honey
1/2 small - medium organic chicken breast

Preheat oven to 300 degrees
Line 3 muffin pans with paper liners
In large bowl mix flour and 2 tsp baking soda. Set aside
Purree bananas with 1 tsp baking soda and set aside
In food processor, puree chicken with pear sauce until smooth. Add in squash and honey. Puree further until smooth. Add in bananas. Puree until smooth.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Fill muffin liners 1/2 - 2/3 full. Should make 3 dozen muffins.
Bake 35 - 45 minutes until muffins spring back and toothpick comes out clean.
Cool on rack. Keep in freezer. Liners peel off most easily when muffins are frozen. Microwave 15 seconds to rewarm.
