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.

Egg-free Pecan-Banana Muffins

2 1/2 cups pecan flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 RIPE bananas mashed with 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup water mixed with 1/3 cup honey
4 oz pear sauce
2 tbsp boiling water mixed with 1 tsp plain gelatin


Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line 2 muffin pans with paper liners (18 liners total). Mix pecan flour with 1 tsp baking soda in large bowl. Mash bananas with 1/2 tsp baking soda in small bowl and set aside. Mix water and honey and pear sauce in bowl. Boil 2 tbsp water and dissolve 1 tsp gelatin in it. Mix bananas into water/honey/pears. Add gelatin to other wet ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and blend well. Scoop muffin mix into liners 1/2 full. Bake for 45 - 50 minutes. Muffins will get VERY dark (like brownies). They are not burned! DO NOT open the oven for the first 45 minutes!!!! Muffins are done when they spring back to the touch. These freeze well and defrost in about 15 seconds in the microwave.
