Gluten Free Chocolate Chip and Banana Muffins

As mentioned earlier I have a child who has behavioural issues and before he was diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) the doctor suggested that he had a Gluten Free Diet.

The doctor suggested this at the beginning of February but we did not think much about it until nearer the end of February when there was a rather major issue at school and we went to the doctor and went Gluten Free that night.  Was definately hard to begin with but we are now in the swing of things.

Below is one of the better recipes that I use for my GF Choco Chip & Banana Muffins.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups of GF Flour - any type or mixture
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 or 4 large bananas, mashed
3/4 cup of white sugar (not castor)
1 egg
1/3 cup melted butter (about 50g before melting)
1 cup chocolate chips or bits

Method:
Preheat oven to 175c.
Put liners in muffin tray.
Sift the first 4 ingredients together.
In another bowl combine the next 4 ingredients.
Add the Chocolate chips to the sifted mixture and mix together.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold until mixed.
Scoop into muffin pans.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

 

It all takes time

 

I have been kicking myself lately and saying that I do not have time to do what I want to do so I decided to have a good look at things.  I decided to make a list of the things that I really really really wanted to do and here it is:

1. Blog at least 3 times a week

2. Work part time or school hours or 7-3

3. Spend at least 1/2 a day per weekend at home doing things around the house that I want to do

4. Have a really good look at the blogs and make continual improvements

So yesterday I worked on #1 ... being Monday, I will blog for the first time this week but it will be on what we did on Sunday!

As we were taking the children rock climbing and that was going to take a large chunk of my day I decided it was also time I looked at the blogging software that is on my iPad.  It will mean that I can at least get a draft going whilst in the car and get the photos directly into the blog as it happens.

Below are some of the photos of the kids doing their thing.

 

Once this was done it was Library, Supermarket and home.  Quick lunch for all and then it was onto other things like making Gluten free Chocolate Chip and Banana Muffins but more on that tomorrow ...
